high training yields would keep the cost per successful candidate low. the training yield could be used to calculate a cost per successful candidate or per fixed number of trainee available to post-training assignment. In carrying out such calculations one should be sure that the TOEIC score distribution used to simulate input to training be representative of those actually being considered.
Program Issue 3 : What is the most typical type of program?
the most typical set of characteristics of programs are derived from the modes of variables gathered in the survey. From these modes, a baseline program can be described and its impact can be modeled using the pre-and-post test TOEIC scored. In addition, we are interested in modeling two ranged of scored that can be interpreted as ranged likely to be considered in program evaluations. The 'lower bound' range is denotes a score range that would be characteristic of employee eligibility for an in-house language program. the survey revealed that a minimum of 220 would be a typically lowest score. The exit score (deemed the 'passing' score ) denoting the end of a foundational English course was estimated to be 447. An 'upper bound' range was also derived from the survey, but this range differs in that it represents the typical of language training for overseas post eligibility. this range covers TOEIC total scored of 651 at entry through 751 as the exit/pass. we will first examine the lower bound baseline derived from the Japanese data.
