Abstract

Numerous efforts for quality professional developments have emerged yet little effort has been made to examine classroom behavior after teachers’ return to their classrooms. This study investigated 22 teachers of Chinese who participated in a 10-day professional development program providing participants a strong foundation in foreign language pedagogy and the use of Web 2.0 tools to enhance foreign language learning. Results from this mixed methods study revealed significant changes in beliefs and teaching practices as a result of participation in this professional development institute.
