National Foreign Language Resource Center | Developing Useful Evaluation Practices in College Foreign Language Programs
This NFLRC Summer Institute is designed to help college foreign language administrators and teachers engage in useful, practical, and effective program evaluations to meet a variety of purposes. The Institute will be run by Dr. John M. Norris (UH Dept. of Second Language Studies), an expert in language program evaluation and assessment. Activities over the 9-day institute will include lectures and demonstrations, in-depth analyses of practical evaluation examples, invited guest speakers (language evaluation experts), social events, and extensive hands-on development and discussion of evaluation plans, procedures, and instruments for immediate use in the participants’ specific program settings.
This workshop is intended for foreign language administrators and teachers who are directly responsible for program evaluations in their foreign language departments. It assumes no prior grounding in program evaluation theory or practice, but it requires a willingness to help increase evaluation capacity in college FL education. Some financial support is available to all participants in the NFLRC Summer Institute, on a competitive and space-limited basis. Summer Institute participants will be expected to participate in the 2007 ADFL Summer Seminar West, which will directly follow the workshop on the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa campus.
