  You pronounce it like the first part of the word "evaluation".
  
  There's actually an internationally standardized way of writing words phonetically which is employed in most modern dictionaries. Meriam-Webster's dictionary also provides links to audible pronunciations of most words, [including this one](http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evaluation).
