This article looks at teacher evaluation and program development
from a learner-oriented perspective. After briefly reviewing the
literature related to observation as an element in teacher evaluation
and development, the article explores and then advocates
the use of learners as course and teacher evaluators as a central
component in language programs. It discusses the rationale for,
research on, problems with, and ways of c~anging and combining
three different roles: learners as evaluators, evaluators and supervisors
as teachers, and teachers as learners. Mini-cases are used
to illustrate the main issues involved.
