Focusing
on an international professional learning community of teachers participating
in a post-graduate program in TESOL following the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, this study explores how participants reflect on teaching
during the pandemic and discuss post-pandemic shifts in their teaching
philosophies, professional development, and identities. Coming from diverse
backgrounds, participants engage in comparative reflections with the goal of
understanding challenges and practices from their home country educational
settings. The
findings report on the international teachers’ experiences regarding (i) teaching
during COVID-19 in terms of support they received, time and
personal/professional life management issues in their home countries, (ii) post-pandemic
shifts in their teaching philosophies, professional development, and identities
and (iii) their professional learning both as a result of remote teaching in
various international contexts and
their participation in the hybrid post-graduate program.
