The purpose of this paper is to construct a framework for assessing the organizational effectiveness of upper secondary school English language departments (EL departments) from the perspective of organizational science, and to clarify the usefulness of the framework. First of all, the author will consider the functions of EL departments implied in the Course of Study and point out its limitations for Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) practices. Then, to overcome the limitations, organizational effectiveness criteria are introduced from organizational science, and a framework for evaluation of EL departments which promote CLT is created based on these criteria. Finally, the practical usefulness of the framework is clarified by assessing three cases of EL departments in upper secondary schools. As a result, it is concluded that organizational effectiveness criteria are useful and applicable in assessing the effectiveness of EL departments. But it would be a little early to tell the answer about its relations with the members' commitment to CLT practices.
