TELL Summative Evaluation Report
Co-ordinator: Sue Hewer
The Summative Evaluation stage took place during the latter half of 1997 and early 1998. The aim was to evaluate some of the TELL packages in use, focusing on the context within which they were being used, their efficiency and effectiveness as language learning tools and the 'costs' of their implementation in terms of preparation time by both staff and students.
The Summative Evaluation Report is 79 pages in total. The main report comprises the first 39 pages, and covers 9 Case Studies based on Encounters, GramEx and TransIt-TIGER programs in various languages. The evaluation tools and case study data summaries make up the appendices.
