This volume represents the proceedings of the Pike Center symposium on Evidence-Based Research in Language Program Assessment that was embedded within SIL’s 8th International Language Assessment Conference held 17-24 September 2004 in Penang, Malaysia. The theme of the conference was: “How are good decisions made in language programs?” The premise of the symposium was that they should be based on solid evidence. The papers explore methods that can be used to create such evidence, including:

New methods for gathering the kinds of data that are needed
Construction of large datasets for analysis of results across programs
Methods of data analysis for producing evidence-based insights
Studies that report evidence-based results
