Abstract: Indonesian government has been putting much effort in improving its education quality as well as teacher quality. One way of making this true is by organizing some professional development programs. As English is not spoken as a formal language in Indonesia, and merely seen as international language, English teacher professional development faces many challenges. The aim of this paper is to review some literature on the issues around teacher professional development in Indonesia in general and English teacher professional development in particular. This review is essential to see the problems of Indonesian professional development, professional development in poor and modern schools, and personal learning as professional development practices which can be recommended for teachers in poor and isolated area.
