dc.description.abstractThis study evaluated a draft curriculum designed in a preliminary study to help practitioners of EAP (English for Academic Purposes) overcome affective problems in higher education language classes. Participatory evaluation model was used to evaluate the draft curriculum practiced with six EAP practitioners in a SFL (School of Foreign Languages) at a state university in Türkiye. A sequential explanatory mixed methods approach was employed. While quantitative data were gathered via a questionnaire, qualitative data were gathered via open ended question test, semi-structured interviews, in-field notes of the curriculum practitioner and the participant observer, and self-reflections of the participants. Findings presented in line with the strengths and weaknesses of the draft curriculum demonstrated that four components of the draft curriculum (ojectives, learning experiences and materials, content and assessment and evaluation processes) functioned well. In addition, the weaknesses inspired the researchers to develop the draft curriculum. The current study contributes to institutional and national policies of in-service training for EAP practitioners. Developing a curriculum that targets a common problem represents an important innovation towards standardization in training EAP practitioners and fills in a crucial gap in the field of EAPen_US
