Nowadays, the development of economic society and increasing of interna- tional competition pose many challenges for higher education institutions all over the world. University teachers need to improve their teaching and develop the capacity to inquire into the teaching practice. The ＂Instructional Skills Workshop＂ and ＂Course Design Intensive＂ at University of British Columbia aims to improve teaching skills and curriculum design among novice faculty members; The ＂Faculty Teaching Certificate Program＂ at University of British Columbia is based on the concept of ＂Scholarship of Teaching＂, aiming to build a learning community among university teachers. The program is composed of four modules of curriculum to encourage teachers to conduct systematic teaching inquiry rather than scat- tered teaching reflection, which is tailored more for professional development of experi- enced faculty members. The self-study element in their Teacher Inquiry Program at Univer- sity of British Columbia both focus on improving curriculum design, teaching skills and teaching inquiry of university teachers. These programs facilitate cross-disciplinary collab- orative research, combination of teaching and research, the inner development of university teachers and field-based professional development. It provided references and inspirations for the development of teaching skills and teaching inquiry for university teachers in China.
