Abstract:
This article explores
the adaptation of English
language teacher training to
online environments in the
context of distance education,
particularly amidst the
challenges posed by the COVID19 pandemic. It delves into
theoretical frameworks,
pedagogical adaptations,
challenges, and implications for
practice. Drawing from
literature in English as a
Foreign Language (EFL)
pedagogy, online learning, and
educational technology, the
study provides a comprehensive
understanding of integrating
technology in EFL teacher
training programs. Through
case studies and a mixedmethods approach, it examines
the complexities and dynamics of
online teacher training,
emphasizing the need for infrastructure improvement,
professional development, and
pedagogical innovation to
optimize learning outcomes in
digital contexts.
