Abstract: In the academic year 2017-2018, the Ministry of National Education in Türkiye launched intensive English as a foreign language program specifically designed for fifth-grade students in middle school. This study, employing a quantitative research design methodology, aims to assess the program's effectiveness from the perspective of fifth-grade students and include sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students who have previously undergone this program. The study adopts the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) evaluation model developed by Stufflebeam (2003) to achieve this goal. Data were collected through a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 31 questions, administered to 208 students enrolled in a secondary school in Diyarbakir, Türkiye. Statistical analyses, encompassing both descriptive and inferential methods, were conducted using the SPSS software. The findings indicated an overall positive attitude among students towards the program, with female students expressing more favorable opinions than their male counterparts. Furthermore, it was observed that fifth and sixth-grade students held more positive views compared to seventh and eighth-grade students. Consequently, the study suggests that certain adjustments and refinements may be necessary for the program.
