摘要：In this study, the continued use of core elements of a collaborative professional development program (CPDP) for communicative language teaching (CLT) after program termination is reported. A cross-sectional design using quantitative and qualitative data collection was applied. Teachers, facilitators and management perceived CPDP relevant and teachers appreciated the program elements. Teachers who participated in the development and implementation sessions of CPDP tended to apply CPDP elements better than teachers who merely used CPDP elements. Teacher collaboration was limited. Facilitators and management offered little support for teachers after the termination of the CPDP. The study recommended embedding CPDP in the English language department system as an in-service professional development program.
