Description Are current teacher training options in a post-Covid world still relevant? This panel will provide a short description of their experience with initial English teacher training courses and give their views on potential future directions, taking into consideration recent innovations (e.g., onsite, online, hybrid, and flipped courses). We will attempt to address the complex relationship of initial training, which makes it necessary to consider what kind of changes may be needed to ensure that training remains useful, contextappropriate, and of sufficient quality relevant to the changing demographics and needs of teachers. We will also consider the extent to which training is providing participants with the autonomy and resilience to cope in a professional world where career precarity may be increasing.
