Due to the devastation caused by it, there are changes in education, the entire process has suffered greatly. The purpose of this article is to propose innovative solutions to the evaluation process during the pandemic, in order to recognize how the recipients (students) valued the methodology, contents, and didactic resources applied to the teaching of English language after the pandemic. The evaluation of the academic-administrative management of the professors, make it possible to measure the management, promote continuous improvement and quality of educational operations. For these reasons, the University of Panama supported a model of evaluation for professors that involved computing functions of teaching, administration, research, extension, production, and services. All these evaluations were to be subject to the provisions set forth by the University General Council in Meeting # 03-19 of August 28, 2019. In the evaluation of English teachers, we will use methods that will help us collect and analyze information exposed mainly by students. It is worth saying that the teaching and learning processes, applied to professors by means of surveys, makes it feasible to evaluate, measure, and assess the level of knowledge that a student has acquired in any subject when learning a second language. In conclusion, the correct use of methods, strategies, and techniques will help the continuous improvement, thus achieving effective performance in the evaluation process
