Abstract

The study aimed to construct, validate, and revise an e-teacher professional development course for senior high school English teachers in teaching Oral Communication in Context with the use of selected technological tools that helped them design supplemental materials for their learners. Following the stages of the ASSURE model by Heinrich and Molenda (1999), this study identified the needs of the senior high school English teachers; designed an e-TPD course for the participants; applied experts' evaluation of the course; and determined the mean performance of the participants in using the e-TPD course. The study's findings reveal that the senior high school English teachers wanted to learn different types of easy-to-use technological tools in creating video lessons, printed materials, audio recordings, and online platforms. In addition, they identified the need for both teachers and students to be exposed to frequent use of technology, more gadgets, better internet connections, and learn appropriate technological skills in learning. The experts agreed that the e-TPD course meets the criteria in terms of its content quality, instructional design, technical quality, overall course design, and other findings. The findings of this study imply that integrating technology-focused professional development courses can significantly enhance teachers' ability to create diverse and engaging learning materials, addressing the evolving needs of 21st-century learners.
