Abstract

This chapter provides evaluation of an English language teaching master's program and investigates the changes the program has gone through since. The program at issue is offered by the Graduate School of Educational Sciences at a foundation (non-profit, private) university in Istanbul, Turkey. The study particularly questions the preferences of the students about joining this program as well as analyzing their perceptions along with the course instructors and program coordinator. The sample population was comprised of 50 students, 5 instructors, and 1 program coordinator. Data was obtained through a questionnaire and reflective essays. The findings revealed that the program was effective regarding the content as well as the role of instructors which contributed to the professional development. However, the range of elective courses and balance between course loads needed more consideration for the redesign of the existing program. This follow-up inquiry tackles the adjustments implemented after the initial evaluation and discusses the changes made in accordance with its results.
