In order to meet the increasingly higher professional standards and to enhance the quality of English language education at Chang′an University,an 18 weeks in-service teacher training program for English teachers is now being carried out in the University of Sheffield in UK,aiming at developing participants′ confidence and skills in using more English in their lectures,giving them opportunities to reflect on and develop their ELT methodology,and enhancing their research initiative and method.Based on Wallace′s reflective practice model,Foord′s five circles of professional development and according to the current situation of lack of reflection in ELT teachers and their desire for self development at Chang′an University,a specifically designed reflective program for ELT teachers′ development has been shaped and increasingly improved.After the first and the second training session,much experience has been accumulated and some more improvements need to be made in the future training sessions in order to better serve the ELT teachers′ development purpose.
