a person or group of persons with a recognized right to comment on and
have input to the curriculum of a language programme, the use of a par-
ticular test, the formation of language policy, and so forth. With respect
to curriculum, different stakeholders often want different things and may
have different perceptions of a programme’s goals, teaching methods, and
content. In other situations, linguists, teacher educators, prospective and
in-service teachers, employers, and government representatives may all have
different views that need to be taken into account.
