Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study focuses on the role of critical friends as a method that evokes teachers to work together and draw on one another’s expertise. The researcher used the action research design that allows teachers to try a new practice. Nine teachers from Mostafa El-Qayaty governmental languages school in Atfeeh Administration, Giza governorate have participated in a critical friends group for nine weeks. The participants have finished ten sessions; through these sessions they conducted peer observations and reflected on their practice through debriefing sessions, journals, dairies and discussions. A lot of data sources were collected during the study. The results show that the critical friends method leads to a change in teaching process. Teachers could discuss, plan, and practise through assessment, observing expert teaching, classroom management and reviewing student work. As a result, teachers discovered that they could better diagnose, remedy, assess, and recognize students problems. Finally, using the critical friends method has a positive effect on classroom management and assessment for learning at the basic education stage.
