Abstract

Teacher competence is a crucial factor to the success of BIPA teaching and learning. In terms of pedagogy, a competent BIPA teacher naturally is not only proficient at theories, but also adept at materializing them into classroom instructions, to help students learn effectively. Nonetheless, trapped inside knowledge illusion of one’s own competence, a teacher might believe having grasped the latest development in language teaching, while in fact, although capable of reciting jargons smoothly, that teacher still teaches traditionally. This paper (re-)visits trends in modern language teaching, reflecting on which we have genuinely understood and fully implemented, and which still require our study. Ultimately, this paper expects to contribute to the larger discussion of how BIPA teacher competence should be defined and could be improved.           Keywords: teacher competence, language pedagogy, classroom practice, jargons, reflection

Abstract

BIPA’s growth is observable from APPBIPA’s expansion, teachers dispatch to various countries, and the soaring number of host institutions. The growth, which leads to the escalating number of teachers, needs to be met with elevated competence, whereas the mushrooming in-service training requires critical evaluation to ensure impactful results. This research examines the compatibility between teacher’s standard of competence, what they need to attain it, and the effectiveness of training programs in bridging those two. While generally satisfied with the training topics, methods, content, and trainer, the participants still deemed those aspects to be not fully compatible with their needs, nor to be fully effective in achieving the competence standard. Considering its importance, in-service BIPA teacher training not just exist but lack of/without meaningful impacts. Finally, the writers expect the results of this study to inform more effective BIPA training programs in the future.Keywords: competence, teachers training, in-service, evaluation, effectiveness
