Abstract

Recently, a variety of technology-rich curricula have been implemented in foreign/second language education. However, the literature demonstrates that simply providing technology in the classroom does not guarantee learning outcomes; it is more about how teachers deliver the curriculum and how technology is used. Therefore, developing responsive professional development to transform teachers’ understandings and ways of using a technology-rich curriculum has become critical in order to maximize the effects. This paper illustrates our design of a professional development program using TPACK as a conceptual framework. We will also demonstrate the design principles underlying the professional development program to help teachers effectively deliver a technology curriculum.
