In my opinion, to evaluate others is based on your opinion towards other’s performance. It is a kind of activity that includes your own comment and it is authentic. Different people have different point of view and therefore it is special.
When evaluating others, I will first consider the areas that need to be evaluated. For example, in our drama simulated teaching class, the evaluation sheet consists of various sections of evaluation: preparation, set induction stage, pre-reading stage, while-reading stage and language. I will evaluate according to the criteria in the evaluation sheet.
Next, I will evaluate fairly. In simulated teaching, I will evaluate according to my friend’s performance. If it is good, a good comment and if it is not so good, I will comment on the areas that can be improved so that they can perform better in the future. In evaluating fairly, it includes no bias. It is not look at the identity of the performers but to look at their performance.
Besides that, I will focus on their spoken language. An English teacher should have a high proficiency of spoken English. Students will be attracted and enjoy the class if a teacher has a good proficiency of English, able to speak loudly and confident in their spoken English.
As playing a role of a student, I will also evaluate on the exercises given by the teacher whether it can link to the lesson, interesting and well organized. I like to see exercises that can link well from one to the other and do not take a hard time to think about the suitable answer. I enjoy doing exercises that can flow smoothly from one exercise to another. Answers for each exercise play an important role.
Lastly, I will evaluate on the non-linguistic behaviour that are teacher’s gestures, eye contact, appearance and the way they walk in a class. Moreover, I will also evaluate on whether the teacher has a teacher-student interaction in the class. This is important in order to make the class not boring.
In conclusion, these are the ways of how I evaluate my course mates during drama simulated teaching activity in class.

I am agree with the ways of how you evaluate others. And I am glad that you said to evaluate others fairly. Fair and honest, for me, are the most important criteria for us to evaluate others. So that the person that we evaluated know what is his or her mistakes. We are helping each other to improve their teaching; and honesty in evaluating is very important in order to improve our friends' teaching.
As Joyce said, we need to evaluate our beloved friends according to the evaluation sheets given by our tutor. Actually, the evaluation sheet guides me in evaluating my friend’s simulated teaching. It makes me realize the crucial things that I need to consider while evaluating my friends. Proficiency in English also can help the teacher in his/her teaching. We need to improve our proficiency in English as all of us know we will be English teachers soon. We should not make any grammatical mistakes in our instructions while teaching. However, I believe that practice makes perfect so good luck to all of us…
