Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of webinars on the professional development of English language teachers in India, focusing on both the COVID-19 pandemic period and beyond. Utilising a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design, data from 367 participants were analysed to assess the perceived impact of webinars on teachers’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA). The findings indicate a significant positive impact on knowledge and skills, though less pronounced-on attitudes. Factors influencing teachers’ webinar choices and strategies for effective learning, such as note-taking and interactivity, were also explored. The research underscores the potential of webinars for immediate professional development while suggesting the need for enhanced engagement and targeted approaches to fostering long-term attitudinal changes. This study contributes to the understanding of webinars as valuable tools for teacher professional development and calls for further context-specific investigations.
