- W2017246470 abstract "N This refreshing collection of articles edited by Martha C. Pennington should interest and be of use to evaluators, program administrators, and other ESL professionals. The book is a welcome addition to my bookshelf, and is highly recommended for several reasons. First, it is the first ESL evaluation book. While there are many other works that touch on evaluation areas with reference to ESL programs, this book brings together twelve articles on different topics directly related to evaluation. Second, the book addresses specific aspects of administrative concern which are common to ESL professionals at all levels.

The second article describes the self-study approach using procedures suggested by two professional organizations, TESOL and NAFSA. The third suggests that comparison with groups outside the program may provide a valuable perspective on the program's success. In the second part, articles address aspects of the program curriculum. The first suggests that curriculum design should be conceived of as an ongoing process and that excellence in the program is very much dependent on that process. The second describes the development of a participatory placement procedure which incorporates an unstructured, student-controlled oral placement interview, a writing sample, and a series of short C-test passages. The third article of this section discusses the cultural" @default.
