Title: Workshop: Useful Assessment and Evaluation in Language Education
Body:
From http://aelrc.georgetown.edu/professional-development
Our sister LRC, the Assessment and Evaluation Language Resource Center (AELRC), will hold a spring workshop entitled “Useful Assessment and Evaluation in Language Education” on May 6 at Georgetown University. This workshop will provide an overview of how to design and implement program evaluation in language programs. The facilitators will show:
• How to plan useful evaluations in language programs;
• How to identify evidence, or "indicators", of program quality, effectiveness, needs, and student learning;
• Appropriate use of common tools for collecting evaluation information: interviews, focus groups, and questionnaires; and
• Time frames and needed capacity for implementing evaluation in language programs and institutions.
