Tale of a language learner

David Block

Institute of Education, University of London, d.block{at}ioe.ac.uk

In this article I present data collected from an adult language learner attending an EFL course at a large language school in Barcelona. I contrast the breadth, depth and content of his comments, as well as his manifested ambivalence, with an end-of-course, pen-and-paper, evaluation form. In doing so, I contrast two very different ways of capturing language learners’ ongoing evaluation of courses which they attend. The article is at the same time an exercise in genre-bending, as I have written it in a style which combines features of academic and narrative writing.
