description.abstract:
This chapter describes the development and implementation of a dynamic and resourceful assessment program within a Foreign Language Department in response to a university-wide mandate. It outlines the assessment struggles and successes of a program from its inception, and explores the relationship between university requirements and the Foreign Language Department’s needs, skills, and goals. In particular, the chapter presents the policies, practices, and structures involved in this longitudinal project. Both positive and negative effects of a university template are outlined, including how the department is attempting to find its own voice and meaning in the process.
