| Research Abstract |
This research demonstrates that item response theory (IRT) and structural equation modeling (SEM) can be used as powerful tools for language assessment and program evaluation in English education. IRT-based large-scale English tests were used to measure changes in the English ability of high-school and university students. SEM approaches were adopted to evaluate effectiveness of language programs as well as to investigate factors affecting changes in English ability. The results indicated that revisions of Course of Study, as well as curriculum innovation in university English education affected English ability. Finally evaluation system of the language program was designed in terms of language assessment and program evaluation.
