Evaluating Second Language Courses - Paperback

by Dale Griffee (Author), Greta Gorsuch (Author)

Typically, books on evaluation in the second and foreign language field deal
with large programs and often result from large‐scale studies done by the
authors. The challenge for ordinary second and foreign language classroom
teachers is that they must extrapolate techniques or strategies for
evaluation from a very large scale to a much smaller scale, that of the course. At the same time,
classroom teachers are responsible for outcomes of their courses and need to do evaluation on a
scale and for needs of their choosing. Evaluating Second Language Courses is designed for
classroom teachers who are dealing with a single course, and who wish to understand and
improve some aspect of their course.
