ABSTRACT
The research focused on the
use of peer-observation of
learning and teaching (POLT) as an approach to evaluating the teaching of
English in institutions of higher education in Saudi Arabia. The existing
literature has supported the relevance of POLT as a new approach to ensuring
quality assurance and improving student-learning outcomes. The research
involved 107 respondents who had different qualifications as teachers of
English in institutions of higher education in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The
study revealed an overwhelming support for the approach in terms of improving
the quality of English learning in the country. The implementation of the
approach requires the support of the accreditation bodies in the country, as
well as the involvement of respective universities and collaboration with
teachers for the best learning and teaching outcomes.
