Abstract
In the context of global competition, improvement in teaching quality is perhaps one of the most important issues which needs to be attended to urgently. Today we need quality oriented teachers of English who would be able to transform the classroom into a wonderful place to learn. This study makes some suggestions for enriching the teaching quality. It argues that the practice of appointing a Supervisor for a new teacher as in the United States should be implemented in India. Teaching quality can also be upgraded through peer review of teaching and by meticulously studying the feedback given by students. Opportunities must also be provided to the teachers to participate in teacher training programmes and practise micro teaching. Quality is never an accident, and it is hoped that teachers, Universities and the Government would take active steps for enhancing the teaching quality.
