Abstract
This research was done to determine the relationship between supervision and teacher
practice in an English teaching center with a high student population in Lima Perú. This
is a quantitative approach basic type study with a non-experimental transversal design
where 5 and 7 point Likert-type-scale questionnaires were used to provide data that
was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. A non-probabilistic sample of
intention or convenience was used to select the respondents. 210 teachers from
different branches in Lima were selected to respond to the questionnaires. A
descriptive analysis of the statistics was used to interpret the results on the supervisors
functions and the teacher performance level in each one of the study areas after the
supervisory service had been offered. To contrast the data for the hypothesis test to
determine the relationship between supervision and teaching performance (content
knowledge of the discipline, teaching skills, contextual knowledge, learner-focus
teaching, professionalism), the Spearman correlation coefficient was used. A direct,
meaningful and high correlation level was found. The results of the current study will
benefit other English language centers management to implement changes and
improvements to the supervision service that will result in better teaching performance
and student achievement.
