TTD is a Sub Directorate under the Academic Directorate of Lembaga Bahasa dan Pendidikan Profesional LIA (LBPP-LIA). Its main responsibility is to foster professional development for the institution’s academic task force, the backbone of educational establishments. Consequently, TTD is in charge of and accountable for various pre-service and in-service training programs for LIA teachers and academic staff.
At the beginning, TTD was mostly responsible for the Recruitment and Selection (R/S) of LIA’s candidate teachers and the pre-service training (LIA TEFL – LIA Teaching of English as a Foreign Language) for LIA’s teacher trainees. In the course of time, it has broadened its scope of work by designing and conducting in-service trainings to meet the development and trends of English Language Teaching and the increasing variety of programs offered by the institution. Other in-service and customized trainings were also designed and carried out for LIA’s various academic positions (materials & test writers, academic supervisors and curriculum designers). Aside from that, TTD also assists and collaborates with other academic sub-directorates in conducting teaching quality assurance and teacher mentoring, in developing needs assessment, curriculum design, materials & tests for LIA’s language programs.
With over 1000 teachers and academic staff spread out in LIA’s more than 50 outlets across Indonesia, serving over 60.000 students, teacher development programs designed and conducted by TTD plays a significant role in setting the course of English language teaching and learning in the country. This perception has lead to the conception of TTD’s vision and mission:
To achieve its vision and mission, TTD organizes events, develop programs and conducts trainings involving LIA experts as well as those from other institutions in the country and abroad, all aimed at developing passion for teaching.
