2) 2007 NFLRC Summer Institute Developing Useful Evaluation Practices in
College Foreign Language Programs
University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, Honolulu, HI
May 28 - June 6, 2007
http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/prodev/si07d/
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. It takes seriously
the values, goals, and constraints that characterize college language
programs and will provide language educators with a user-oriented
approach to developing evaluations that maximize benefits for language
learners and teachers, while minimizing potential negative consequences.
It will also provide participants with tools and strategies for making
program evaluation a systematic and consistently useful component of
their FL departments.
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. In order to
maximize the impact of this event across U.S. colleges, participants
will be purposefully selected to represent diverse FL program types,
based on size, languages taught, geography, and institutional status.
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.
