What Makes a Great Language Teacher?
Great teaching is an ongoing journey of continuous learning that takes place in the classroom, and perhaps more importantly, extends far beyond its walls. In this presentation, I explore how language teachers can actively grow and adapt by focusing on six essential areas of professional development: developing professional competence, becoming AI-fluent in a rapidly changing digital world, engaging in reflective practice, embracing student-centredness, committing to life-long learning, and staying gritty when facing daily challenges. Drawing on current research and my own decades of hands-on teaching experience across diverse Asian contexts, I share practical, real-world insights. Through this discussion, I hope to support fellow language teachers in navigating these areas, helping them keep learning, adapting, and improving their craft every single day.
