      abstract = {This book provides a comprehensive understanding of  India's continuing professional development (CPD)  landscape. It examines the issues surrounding the  professional development of English language teachers in  India at the tertiary level from multiple perspectives.  Further, it evaluates various models of continuing  professional learning (CPL) and emphasizes the  transformative model as a solution to the social,  administrative, or other impediments teachers encounter in  their lives. Importantly, it presents examples, solving  academic and non-academic problems in formal and informal,  and face-face and technology-mediated forms of teaching and  learning by teachers of English in different contexts. It  discusses the latest developments in the literature related  to the transformative and reflective approach to classroom  problems faced by teachers on the ground such as classroom  environment, students' socio-economic background, teachers  education, and teacher assessment. Also, it positions  continuing professional development (CPD) as having  transformative power in teaching English in India and how  it can improve students' learning opportunities. The book  is relevant to English language teachers, teacher  educators, and researchers in India and across the globe to  address significant issues in the field: how to handle  every classroom situation and how to train oneself as a  teacher as well as a teacher educator.},
