DOMINGUEZ GOMEZ, Zoe; GONZALEZ JURADO, Margarita; HERNANDEZ PINO, Juan Luis  e  ABREUS GONZALEZ, Adrian. Classroom observation for the training of in-service teachers of English. Conrado [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.82, pp. 21-29.  Epub 02-Out-2021. ISSN 1990-8644.

Classroom observation is part of the methodological work system developed in Cuban universities. In the case of English as a foreign language classes, this control tends to be a subjective judgment of the observer because of the lack of a homogeneous observation guide in every university with a clearly defined observation criterion. The objective of this article is to socialize the experience of the Language Center of the University of Matanzas in the training of in-service teachers (INSET), emphasizing on the use of a new class observation guide as a resource not only for evaluation, but mainly for their improvement. This has been achieved through the concatenation of the methodological work system, with the use of a new classroom observation guide. This guide was designed and validated by the authors, and it is the result of their professional experience, not only as English teachers, but also as head of departments, degree courses, and subject groups that have developed an effective and efficient work in the control and training of in-service teachers.
