The lack of congruence found between evaluation and pass/fail decisions in foreign languages was addressed in this interinstitutional action research project through the consolidation of a collaboratively designed evaluation system. The implementation of the system in English beginner courses of three adult extension programs revealed that a variety of evaluation types and forms; rigor and systematicity; and the meticulous design of evaluation instruments, forms, and tasks made evaluation practices fair and democratic and benefited students, teachers, and institutions.
