A major problem for the ESL program evaluator is to address the questions that those who commission and hope to use evaluation findings want answered, without relinquishing his! claims to academic research standards. In this paper, I first of all elaborate on the nature of the problem, arguing for recognition of the need for an increased dialogue between evaluation and policy analysis. I then proceed to highlight the dangers inherent in such a dialogue. Following this, ways of increasing the likelihood that evaluations can actually be utilized are discussed along with suggestions for avoiding the pitfalls. Finally, it is concluded that an appeal to a notion of 'disciplined inquiry' is helpful in maintaining academic standards while speaking to realworld concerns.
