Abstract
This article explores the perceptions of teachers regarding post observation conferences in a preparatory year English language program in a university in Saudi Arabia. Semi-standardized interviews were used to gather qualitative data from ten teachers. Five themes emerged from the interview data after qualitative analysis: (1) Concerns about the means-oriented view of some observers (2) Blurring of lines between developmental supervision and evaluation (3) Post observation conference as a formality (4) Concerns about the difference of opinion between teachers and observers (5) Concerns about supervisors’ credentials, training and experience in supervision. These themes are discussed in detail with reference to current literature on supervision.
