Abstract	This introduction to second language program evaluation begins with a rationale outlining the major issues involved in program evaluation. Procedures for evaluation are described, and examples are offered of goal statements, sub-goal statements, curriculum objectives, and learning objectives. Guidelines for judging a statement of aims are listed. Procedures are set forth for selecting measurement instruments (including discussion of several specific instruments), and for collecting and analyzing data. Evaluation of classroom behavior and of instructional materials is outlined under the headings of student population, program scope, administrative considerations, methodology/classroom activities, teacher/student behavior, testing, materials, and facilities. Suggestions are offered for writing evaluation reports. Appendix A describes principal evaluation models, and Appendix B discusses two specific observation instruments. (JB)
