Title of Proposal: Class Observation: Training the observers

When talking about observation, the focus is mainly on the teacher and the lesson plan, and not on the final product. Observers end up watching an unlikely example of the teacher’s lessons; paying attention to a list of assessment criteria such as pacing, organization of group work, rate of delivery, clarity of instructions and so on. But is there something else to take into account? What about if the teacher manages to get their students to use L2 efficiently? How does he/she do it? Does the observer leave room for individuality or human unpredictability?

Fortunately, teachers are coming to understand that seeing one's actions through another's eyes is an indispensable tool for classroom research, not to mention how profitable this is for both observee and observer.

The purpose of this workshop is to get teachers to see class observations as basis for professional development, giving them the chance to do some reflection on their own teaching and making them aware of the different skills needed to be an observer.
