This chapter deals with evaluating and improving the effectiveness of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses with a central focus on assessment types implemented in EAP course evaluation contexts, course evaluation, and factors contributing to optimal student learning in EAP courses. The chapter goes into the details of course improvement, formative assessment, summative assessment, and their integration into course evaluation. Additionally, both formative assessment and summative assessment as well as using them for student learning course evaluation purposes are discussed. The chapter then moves to the significance of course and program evaluation while also taking students' needs analysis into account as the basis for course evaluation. The end of the chapter covers technology and artificial intelligence (AI) integration into EAP courses. Throughout the chapter, the focus is on the ways to evaluate EAP courses and to improve their effectiveness to ensure students are equipped with the necessary language skills in English for their academic field of study. © The Author(s).
