Why Evaluation?
Evaluation is a 'matching process; matching needs to
available solutions' (Hutchinson and Waters 1987 cited in Sheldon 1988: 237).
The selection of a particular core volume
signals an executive educational decision (Sheldom, 1988).
Learners depend on this course because the company (STC) will choose only a few of the best students.
