Undertaking ESL/EFL programme review for accountability and improvement

Ronald Mackay

holds a Diploma in Applied Linguistics from Edinburgh University and a Ph.D. from the University of Montreal, is Professor of Applied Linguistics and Director of the Centre for Teaching English as a Second Language, Concordia University, Montreal. After holding various positions in Morocco, Romania, England, and Mexico, he moved to Canada in 1976, where among other things, he has been involved in aboriginal education and the evaluation of educational programmes in the Northwest Territories, Quebec, Newfoundland, and Ontario.

The practice of evaluation is fast becoming an indispensable activity within the context of ESL/EFL programmes. This paper makes a distinction between extrinsically motivated evaluation, which addresses the concerns of the bureaucracy, and intrinsically motivated evaluation, which addresses specific concerns of teachers and learners to improve aspects of the programme. The paper then proposes an approach to evaluation that might satisfy both parties, and takes a current project in Indonesia as exemplification.
