Abstract:

Evaluation is a way of understanding and developing language programs: the
thematic and background section sets out the decision-making, quality
management, and learning functions of evaluation. Case studies illustrate
the diversity of evaluation contexts, functions and approaches, documenting
the ways in which evaluation processes and outcomes inform and facilitate
program development, and contribute to explaining how language and teacher
education programs constitute opportunities for learning. The ways in which
evaluation practice can be researched and developed to maximize policy,
institutional and program effectiveness is included, and a comprehensive
set of resources for those commissioning, undertaking or researching
language program evaluations concludes the text.
