The overall purpose of second language evaluation is to make sound choices that will improve second language teaching and enhance second language learning. Such decisions are based on informed judgment. They require the careful collection of relevant data and a thoughtful interpretation of that information (Fred Genesee and John A. Upshur, p. 5 )
