Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of teachers ‘personal development on pupils’
language performance, using CEG 2 GODOMEY as a case study. Teachers' personal development
includes activities such as attending workshops, learning new teaching technics (direct instruction,
indirect instruction, collaborative learning, active learning, learning through play, feedback, and
reflection, etc.) and improving their skills. To achieve this, our goal, in-depth interviews, direct
observation, and questionnaires were used to gather information. Informants were approached using
purposive selection and simple random sampling. The results show that when teachers engage in selfdevelopment,
their
teaching
improves,
leading
to
better
results
in
English
for
pupils.
Teachers
who
take
part
in
training
and
learning
activities
use
more
effective
teaching
methods,
which
translates
into
better
results
for
pupils.
Overall,
the
study
shows
that
investing
in
teachers
‘personal
development
can
lead
to
significant
improvements in pupils’ language performance. The results suggest that schools should
support in-service teacher training to improve students' educational outcomes.
