摘要：AbstractIn this study, the effects of professional development on teaching of English will be analyzed. In this context, the process of pre-service and in-service training programs is regarded as vital components of teachers’ professional developments. Since the degree of professional development programs’ contribution to professional preparation is a tough question to answer and offering a tailor made solution fulfilling the needs of all teachers teaching at all levels is not reasonable, the proposed programs are expected to fit both the specific needs of the institutions and individual teachers. Based on this premise, this paper incorporates a model of professional development for TurAFA language teachers.
