Abstract
Continuous professional development of instructors is a preponderant factor in high quality education systems [12]; [14]; [2]; [4] [9]. In Ecuador, it has been observed that a substantial number of years have gone by in which limited of onsite regular courses for professional development of English as a Foreign Langue (EFL) educators has existed. This paper is aimed to contribute a feasible proposal for training EFL teachers in situ: peer training, a professional development approach, which has been carried out with limited resources and yet being highly effective [4]. We, the authors, recommend an initiative to create a chain of knowledge, by encouraging EFL educators in Ecuador to become outlets of knowledge distribution.
