HASSANI, Azadeh  y  SAEEDI, Zari. Exploring Criteria for Evaluating In-Service English Language Teachers’ Performance. profile [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.2, pp.165-181.  Epub 25-Jul-2023. ISSN 1657-0790.  https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v25n2.103917.

This case study explored the evaluation criteria applied by six supervisors of a private language institute (three men and three women) through individual in-depth interviews in an English-as-a-foreign-language context. The researchers also collected data from supervisors’ observation checklists and written feedback. A thematic analysis resulted in five main themes and two sub-themes. Therefore, a tentative framework was developed, encompassing five criteria: English and Content Knowledge, Teaching Skills, Personal Traits, Fulfilling Workplace Expectations, and Parents’/Learners’/Peers’ Feedback. The proposed framework can help increase language supervisors’ teacher evaluation literacy.

Palabras clave : language supervisor; language teacher evaluation; performance supervision; supervisors’ criteria.
