Abstract

This paper evaluates the M.Ed. program in English Language Teaching offered by Kathmandu University, School of Education, using the program evaluation model of CIPP developed by Daniel Stuffelbeam in the 1960s. The study was carried out using the qualitative research design. The information was collected via several interviews with four participants who were selected using the purposive sampling method at the researcher's and the participant's convenience. Out of four, two were faculty members teaching any courses in the program, and two were students who had already completed the program. The questions were asked on the context, input, process, and product, the four elements of the CIPP model. The study found that the program has successfully addressed the needs of the stakeholders, the curriculum and contents are directly connected to the predetermined objectives, and the emphasis on student-centered teaching and learning methodologies with an excessive amalgamation of ITCs are the major findings.
