Abstract
The purpose of this study was twofold: firstly, to determine Grades 10 and
11 students’ perceptions of English teacher effectiveness using Danielson’s (2011)
framework for teaching model and its domains (i.e., planning and preparation,
classroom environment, and instruction) in Lai Za High School and Mai Ja Yang
High School in Kachin State, Myanmar; and secondly, to identify whether there were
significant differences in Grade 10, Grade 11, and Grades 10 and 11 students’
perceptions of English teacher effectiveness between the same schools. This
quantitative study used the Students’ Perceptions of Teacher Effectiveness
Questionnaire (SPTEQ, Sprague, 2013). The respondents were 184 Grades 10 and
11 students in Lai Za High School and 220 Grades 10 and 11 students in Mai Ja Yang
High School during the academic year 2017-2018. The research findings indicated
that, in Lai Za High School, on average, Grade 10 students perceived their English
teachers as neither effective nor ineffective, while Grade 11 students perceived their
English teachers as effective. In Mai Ja Yang High School, both Grades 10 and 11
students, on average, perceived their English teachers as effective. Independent
samples t-tests revealed that there were significant differences in Grade 10 and
Grades 10 and 11 students’ perceptions of English teacher effectiveness between Lai
Za High School and Mai Ja Yang High School, whereas no significant difference in
Grade 11 students’ perceptions of English teacher effectiveness was noted between
Lai Za High School and Mai Ja Yang High School.
