Abstract

How transparent a title is Genesee and Upshur's (G & U) Classroom-Based Evaluation in Second Language Education? First, the word “evaluation.” These days “evaluation” is so commonly attached collocationally to programs and projects that when it stands alone it is usually taken to mean evaluation of programs or projects. G & U seem to use evaluation in the more micro sense of the assessment of individual achievement within the classroom context, taking into account the teacher's purposes, plans, and practices.
