ABSTRACT
The drive to produce highly qualified local teachers of English is extended to the international stage as Brunei has a role in providing English language learning to ASEAN member states. In light of ASEAN integration, Brunei is continually committed to improving policies in English language teacher preparation. Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) offers teacher preparation through the Master of Teaching (MTeach) programme with particular focus on English teacher professional development and initial teacher preparation. This chapter provides an overview of the MTeach English programme which includes its description through the perspectives of its stakeholders (facilitators and English teacher candidates). The research study is based on qualitative feedback analysis obtained from the course facilitator and teacher candidates. The analysis shows that there is generally a semi-positive review of the MTeach English programme, although some challenges outlined by the participants cannot be overlooked. Moreover, the insights offered by the stakeholders can be considered in the wider discussion of teacher education reform.
