Teacher professional development (TPD) programs have been considered an inportant aspect in teacher development and quality improvement. They are believed to be able to improve teachers’ knowledge and skills which in turn improve students’ learning and improvement.

Data were collected through a close-ended survey, observation, and reflectice interviews with online-inservice PPG techear alumni. Findings suggested that although teacher participants reported that PPG contributed to changes in their beliefs about better English teaching and knowledge and skills in teaching English, such chnages were not reflected in their teaching practices.
