Cuauhtémoc Connected is an education project working with young people aged between 13 and 16 in the Delegación Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City. This project focuses on the personal development of its participants through the use of English. Not only do we want to raise participant’s level of English, we want them to develop life-skills that enable them to use the English in significant ways outside the classroom. The British Council EES team in Mexico is looking for a consultant to carry out an evaluation of its programme, Cuauhtémoc Connected. The aim of this evaluation is threefold:
1. To understand if the project is meeting its goals in terms of English Language development. This evaluation must demonstrate what impact the programme is having on participant’s level of English (if at all). This evaluation should show if participant’s English level is improving as a direct result of taking part in this course and do so in a quantifiable way.
2. To show in what ways (if at all) the project is meeting its aim of generating a greater sense of aspiration and global citizenship amongst the young people taking part.
3. To evaluate the British Council’s processes, delivery and course content, identifying areas of strength and weakness offering concrete solutions to the identified problems.
