A framework for classroom observations in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education

Abstract

This article presents a framework for implementing classroom observations in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education. It is an effort to provide a comprehensive six step framework that aids EFL student-teachers (ST) in carrying out classroom observations independently, while simultaneously minimizing potential interpersonal conflicts with other participants involved. The aim of this paper is to provide ST and educators in EFL teacher education a workable framework for the independent implementation of classroom observations, allowing classrooms observations to make a more valuable contribution to overall professional growth.
