This book presents evaluation cases from the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) context, investigating the various facets of
evaluation in different parts of the MENA region and beyond. In 19
chapters, it explores cases from Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt,
Sudan, Syria, the UAE, Turkey, Iran and Morocco. The book
highlights the impact of evaluation on a range of stakeholders,
arguing that it has repercussions at the individual, societal,
economic, cultural and political levels, that it also has an
ethical dimension, and that it is tailored to people's needs,
helping them to remain abreast of the effectiveness and efficiency
of programs. Further, the book explores controversial issues
concerning different evaluation themes, such as teacher and staff
evaluation, assessment practices, text genre analysis evaluation,
assessment of productive skills, textbook and ICT evaluation,
evaluation of ELT certificates and programs, quality assurance, ESP
needs analysis, assessment literacy, and dynamic assessment. It
addresses key challenges, such as who the "right people" to
implement evaluation are, and the appropriate use of evaluation
results to avoid any misuse or harm to any stakeholder. In closing,
the book calls for further research venues on the relevance of
evaluation, testing and assessment in the MENA context and beyond.
