“…However, the volume of such research is limited in the ELT context ( Borg, 2011 ). Within that small number of studies, the results however were quite mixed, with some reporting stability ( Lamb, 1995 ; Kubanyiova, 2006 ; Sim, 2011 ; Ming, 2019 ), some providing evidence of significant change ( Lamie, 2004 ; Kiely and Davis, 2010 ; Teng, 2016 ; Karimi and Zade, 2018 ; Gorter and Arocena, 2020 ; He and Bagwell, 2022 ), and others identifying different levels of change across individuals ( Tillema and van der Westhuizen, 2006 ; Borg, 2011 ; So, 2013 ; Chaaban, 2016 ; Coburn and Borg, 2022 ). Borg (2011) pointed out that the impact of language teacher education on teachers deserves much more empirical attention as our understanding of the issue remains incipient.…”

Drawing on teacher interviews, written teacher reflections, teacher research proposals, and research papers, this study explored the outcome and process of teacher learning during their participation in a continuing professional development program. It has been found that the teachers changed their conceptions of research over the course of learning concerning the nature, purpose, and process of research and the relationship between teaching and research. Dialogic exchanges and reading research papers, along with the scaffolding of the teacher educator, enabled the teachers to validate their practices, link others’ perspectives up to their own, and re-situate research in light of their current practices. The findings provide insights into the nature of teachers’ conceptual change and how learning opportunities can be better built into continuing professional development programs.
