These information collections will allow ECA/P/V to conduct pre-program, post-program and follow-up surveys of exchange participants from various ECA exchange programs that are focused on critical foreign language learning instruction using pre-approved questions. For the purposes of this collection the respondents will be Americans who travel abroad on these programs. Collecting this data will allow ECA/P/V to help inform the overall effectiveness of ECA language learning programs, by gathering data to be used for program support, such as planning and design, as well as to help monitor the program’s performance.

• Language Learning Programs: Pre Program Survey Questions: This collection will cover pre-program surveys.

• Language Learning Programs: Post Program Survey Questions: This collection will cover post program surveys.

• Language Learning Programs: Follow-up Program Survey Questions: This collection will cover follow-up program surveys. Methodology

ECA/P/V estimates that 100% of the data collected through these information collections will be done so electronically via a Web-based surveying system for ease of use.

Additional Information: These three collections together represent the full spectrum of the performance measurement process (i.e., a pre-program, post-program, and follow-up program surveying), and data collected across these collections will be used to monitor ECA’s language learning programs. The proposed questions have been designed to appear across these collections as appropriate, and therefore it is imperative that these questions remain unchanged so as to continue our vital performance measurement work.
