Evaluating Second Language Education, Hardback Book

Evaluating Second Language Education Hardback

Edited by J. Charles Alderson, Alan Beretta

Part of the Cambridge Applied Linguistics series

Hardback

Description

Responsibility for planning language teaching programmes now carries with it a strong element of accountability.

Evaluation of the whole process of course design, development and implementation is therefore a necessary area of activity for course designers, language planners and researchers.

Evaluating Second Language Education is divided into three parts: * Part One presents a review of the literature showing how the field got to where it is * Part Two contains a series of eight original case-studies which illustrate the strengths and limitations of qualitative and quantitative approaches * Part Three contains practical advice on how to design and execute evaluations in the field.

It is a valuable resource both for those already engaged in evaluation and for those in training.
