Abstract

In this study, the classroom performance of the teachers working in the department of English at University of Science & Technology, Bannu, Pakistan was assessed by their students using HEC Teacher Evaluation Performa 2009. In almost all the areas of classroom performance, the teachers’ performance was found good but the three weak aspects of their performance were: inadequate time to complete the whole course, teachers were not very approachable and the weak knowledge or thinking regarding the use of different teaching methods.

It is recommended that the teachers may complete their course, outlines may be reviewed according to the time span of the semester; they should participate in different seminars and conferences as a resource person, and should attend different workshops regarding teachers training; to make themselves more approachable in their subjects and in improving their teaching methodologies, especially in modular teaching approach.

Keywords: Teacher, Faculty, University, Performance, English, Department.

Introduction

The basic role for a teacher is to create an interesting classroom for students, so that the students may feel comfortable with their learning. Students should be taught in a way that they may feel pleasure while understanding the things. Narayani Karthik (2010) states five qualities of a good teacher: inculcate the thirst for knowledge, discover and rear hidden talents, interact as much as possible, innovative, be a role model for the students. Teaching is that profession where the success of the teachers depends on the ability of the students but there have been such teachers who have made even the worst of students the best of learners.
