PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale We are living in a changing world in which new developments are affecting every aspect of life Now is the era of global integration with “new social movements that requires special considerations” (Canagarajah, 2006, p.24) In this context English has occupied its unrivalled position of a language used as a medium of international communication English becomes “one of the most important means for acquiring access to the world intellectual and technical resources” and it “enables learners to access more advanced and up-to-date resources than they can in their native language” (Canh, 2003, p.36) The important role of English language in the modern life highlights the need for enhancing the quality of English language learning and teaching More and more researchers, scholars, educational administrators and teachers are taking interest in the matter of effective English teaching The factors that help to promote effective teaching then have received increased attention Classroom observation is a common practice in every school It captures information about how teachers deliver their lessons and it is considered as the most commonly used tool not only for evaluating teachers but also for fostering their profession development (Minhis, as cited in Office of Institutitional Analysis & Planning [OIAP], 2007) According to O’Leary (as cited in Leshem & Bar-Hama, 2008), “classroom observation has occupied a prominent role in terms of its use as a tool by which to jugde and subsequently promote good practice” (p.261) However, it is becoming more of a challenge to teaching evaluation through classroom observation in the present picture of language learning and teaching The picture now is very complicated as contextual factors such as different objectives, resources, support for professional development, student motivation, etc …are influential in teaching process (OIAP, 2007) This should be taken into account when teaching evaluation is carried out It should be noted that a number of problems arising in the practice of evaluating teachers’ teaching have been identified by lots of researchers According to Bath (as cited in Sawa, 1995), conventional teaching evaluation often manifests itself as “a meaningless ritual, or even worse, it becomes a recurring occasion to heighten anxiety and discomfort among teachers involved” (p.2) This may emerge from the fact that observers tend to use themselves as a standard and they observe impressionistically (Sheal, 1989) This is echoed TIEU LUAN MOI download :

by Bailey (2002) when he states that teachers have sometimes felt like objects whose behaviour and key decisions were shaped by dominant views of observers who may not be aware of the daily practice of a particular language classroom Leshem and Bar-Hama (2008) also mention the same problem when they point out that observations tend to be subjective and are based on the observers’ own teaching approach, which can create biased results In upper-secondary schools in Vietnam, the evaluation of teachers’ teaching is carried out on a regular basis The most important source of information used to the evaluation is collected by means of classroom observation which has received increased concern from educational administrators, inspectors and teachers themselves This is because criteria for evaluation are not specific, and evaluation is, therefore, more subjective and based on the evaluators’ intuition Also, teaching evaluation in upper-secondary school context is facing challenges on account of considerable changes in language teaching The new textbooks with new guidelines on teaching have been introduced into this educational environment in replacement of the old-fashioned ones The evaluation of teachers’ performance in class, however, has not yet responded well to the change What guides inspectors’ evaluation of teachers’ performance is a set of general criteria for lesson evaluation regulated by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) These criteria for teaching evaluation have been administered for all subjects, so they potentially lack subject sensitivity element It should be noted that sensible teaching evaluation with constructive comments from the observers can exert positive impact on teachers’ teaching skills The quality of teaching evaluation, to a large extent, depends on teachers’ and inspectors’ perceptions of what constitute effective teaching This matter has been researched in the field of language teaching For example, Griffits (2004) considers teacher perceptions very important as they potentially influence the effectiveness of teaching process From the reasons mentioned above, it is urgent and necessary to explore the viewpoints that teachers and inspectors hold about criteria for an effective language lesson Up to now, there has been little research into this thought process in upper-secondary school context This study is intended to move toward that goal It is hoped that the findings of the study will make a positive contribution to the improvement in teaching evaluation practice in high school context, which is of great significance to teacher professional growth TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

I Appendix Teachers’ interview Protocols I Questions about teachers’ general perceptions of the MOET’s evaluation criteria - Do you think the criteria have covered all necessary aspects of an English lesson? - Are the criteria explicit enough? - To what extent you think they are appropriate to an English lesson? - How useful you think the criteria are to teachers’ teaching? Do they orientate teachers towards better teaching? II Questions about teachers’ interpretation of the criteria Subject matter knowledge + Criterion 1: - What is meant by accuracy of subject matter knowledge? + Criterion 2: - What does the teacher have to to ensure that teaching content is systematically delivered? - What is meant by the full coverage of teaching content of the lesson? - What are the indications of teaching points being made clear? + Criterion 3: - What should the teacher to relate teaching content to real life situations? Teaching methods + Criterion 4: - What is meant by appropriate teaching methods for the English subject? - What is meant by the methods that are appropriate for lesson types? + Criterion 5: - What are the indications of good combination of methods in teaching and learning activities? Teaching aids + Criterion 6: - How should teaching aids be used in the lesson so that they can enhance its effectiveness? + Criterion 7: - What’s meant by appropriate use of the board? - What does an appropriate lesson plan include?
