This study applied a quantitative descriptive approach by using a questionnaire as an instrument to collect data. This study's subjects were the lecturers of the English Education Study Program at a private university in Jakarta. The findings indicate that the professional development activities that have been attended by the majority of English Education lecturers are research activities, both individually and in groups, conferences or seminars, and workshops or training related to courses and/or other topics related to education. The professional development activities needed by lecturers include training related to National Education Standards (60%), multicultural teaching (60%), knowledge and understanding (competence) of the subject (53%), and teaching for students with special needs ( 53%).

That way, lecturers can still fulfill their obligations to teach, research, and do community service while still having the opportunity to develop their professionalism.
