Abstract

n Indonesian, teachers’ competencies in termsof knowledge, skills, and behaviors on Lecturers and Teachers. Some studies have focused on teachers' efforts to improve their professional competence in the domain of academic qualification, while others have looked at how pupils interact with teachers. However, few studies have scrutinized how teachers’ professionaldevelopment is improved through theTeachers forum. This present study investigated English teachers’ viewpoints on their involvement in the Teacher Forum and how it was contributedtotheir professional development in carrying out their professional tasks. This Ethnographic-Qualitative study involved the chief and four members of the Teachers Forum. The data were collected through interviews andanalyzed by applying the procedures suggested by Spradley (1979),covering domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and theme analysis.The findings revealed that the participants had a good perception ofthe Teachers Forum,for it was potential for them to developtheir pedagogical competence.Understanding and caring about students' uniqueness, conducting teaching and learning activities (setting instructional objectives, doing teaching activities, assessing students' performance), selecting ICT-basedteaching media, conducting research, and doing self-teaching reflection supported the Teachers Forum's pedagogical competence.This study examines how teacher forums can help English teachers become more professional, as opposed to prior research that has focused on teachers' ICT abilities, research, and usage of teaching resources.
