Throughout more than fifty years of TEFLIN, The Association for the Teaching of English in Indonesia has shown its full commitment towards teacher training and education and teacher professional development in ELT through various programs, including international conferences, workshops, and seminars, and book and journal publications. The TEFLIN Publication Division has published volumes of the TEFLIN Journal, a biannual peer-reviewed journal indexed in Scopus, which contains both research and concept papers in the field of ELT. To further contribute to teachers' continuous professional development, the Publication Division has also recently released the TEFLIN Teacher Development Series, which is a series of short practical resource booklets for English language teachers in Asia.
The booklets in the TEFLIN Teacher Development series address various topics relevant to the field of ELT. They are intended to be used by teachers (both pre-service and in-service) and teacher educators as a learning resource and as the basis for organizing workshops, in-service courses, and various other purposes of teaching and learning and teacher professional development. They are written in an accessible and teacher-friendly style and cover both principles and techniques of various topics relevant to ELT and teacher professional development. Each booklet contains practical ways for teachers to apply new ideas in their teaching and reflective tasks that provide opportunities for the teachers to check their understanding and consider the application of the principles and techniques in their contexts.
The editors of the series are Dr. Willy Renandya from the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Ms. Nur Hayati from Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia. The books in the series are authored by experts who have generously shared their knowledge and expertise to make this project happen.
