Abstract
On the basis of research on teacher evaluation in the larger educational context, this paper assesses the applicability to ESL of seven common faculty evaluation methods: teacher interviews, competency tests, student evaluations, student achievement, classroom observation, peer review, and faculty self-evaluation. Each method is assessed in terms of its strengths and limitations with regard to faculty evaluation in general and for TESOL in particular. A developmental orientation to faculty evaluation is outlined in which various aspects of teaching are evaluated at different stages of the teacher's career and in which a combination of methods is used. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations for the implementation of faculty evaluation in an ESL context.
