"Evaluation is the collection of, analysis and interpretation of information about any aspect of a programme of education or training as part of a recognised process of judging its effectiveness, its efficiency and any other outcomes it may have."

Did most of the learners take part in the group activities which analyzed the topic? Did the learners use more English through this technique than they usually do? Was the learners’ written work better organized tan usual? Did the learners have less difficulty in finding something to write about than usual? Did the learners seem to enjoy the preparation for the writing task? EVALUATION Is practice OK YES NO CONFIRM INNOVATE

ON THE OTHER If they will be able to use the evaluation data as a basis for suggesting change.

NOTE: Without information obtained from a systematic evaluation, it is hard to plan for something that bring about the desired improvements. Introducing an innovation The issue of how an innovation is introduced and implemented is crucial. The introduction of an innovation may be approached in different ways, such as: 1.The research, development and diffusion model 2.The social interaction model 3.The action research model

They consume all innovation materials, the tests and the new textbook examples reflect this model. Features associated with this model are that it is initiated by an agent external to the teaching situation.

This model is collective and collaborative. 3.The action research model: It is a teacher-driven model to classroom innovation. it is highly relevant to the classroom needs as it involves evaluation.

Evaluation has its part to play in all these aspects and helps the teacher to examine whether any current resources are being underused.
