Abstract of Proposed Collections 

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.
