Description:
This paper explains that the objects of this research project are (a) to identify existing training evaluation activities in the educational department in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, (b) to evaluate the new teacher training course in two levels, reaction and learning, and (c) to determine the effectiveness of the evaluation processes in relation to its contribution to the organization's strategic objectives. The methodology for this research is a critical review of the peer-reviewed and scholarly literature combined with a survey of new teachers to determine their perspective of curriculum development and the effectiveness of their curriculum and faculty in preparing them to become educators. The author includes the completed data and tables. The paper summarizes the research and salient conclusions. Recommendations for policymakers and educators concerning further considerations and changes relating to training evaluation processes conclude the study.

From the Paper:
"Currently, English is the only foreign language taught to intermediate and secondary students in Saudi Arabia; the subject is required for grades 7 through 12 in both boys' and girls' schools. As a result, during their general education, Saudi students study English for a total of 6 years. Textbooks and teaching methods are also identical in boys' and girls' schools, and all students have four 45-minute periods (3 hours) of English instruction weekly; in addition, Braine (2005) reports that, because reading and writing are considered most important in English teaching, more emphasis is placed on teaching the content of the language than on developing communicative competence."Sample of Sources Used:
