The document discusses the process and approaches for evaluating instructional materials. It describes the selection process as having 7 steps: 1) identifying program aims and objectives, 2) analyzing the teaching and learning situation, 3) finding or designing an evaluation checklist, 4) limiting criteria, 5) creating a shortlist, 6) in-depth evaluation using the checklist, and 7) making a selection decision. It also outlines two main evaluation approaches - impressionistic overview and in-depth evaluation, and notes that combining both forms a sound evaluation basis. Several evaluation methods are mentioned, including piloting materials, gathering teacher and student opinions, and detailed analysis.
This presentation displays my perspective of SLA in terms of language skills development for EFL learners. As well this presentation shows some reflective aspects for reading before dealing with aspects to consider when assessing reading.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. SELECTION PROCESS
The process involves finding the best
possible fit & potential for adapting or
supplementing
1.Identify aims & objectives of the
programme
2.Analyze the T&L situation where material
will be used
3.Find / design suitable evaluation checklist
3. SELECTION PROCESS
4. Limit the number of criteria
5. Draw a list of potential coursebook – use
impressionistic evaluation (getting
general overview of the book) for
elimination
6. The short listed books are subjected to in-
depth evaluation using the checklist
chosen
7. Use finding to make decision to select
4. EVALUATION APPROACHES
1. IMPRESSIONISTICS OVERVIEW
– A general impression, formed by looking
through the material for its possibilities,
– Strengths & weaknesses – noting significant
features that stand out
– Cannot identify weaknesses, not enough
details to ensure match or to make decision
[Cunningsworth]
5. EVALUATION APPROACHES
2. IN-DEPTH EVALUATION
– Examine how specific items or aspects of
language are dealt with, related to students
learning needs, syllabus requirements, etc
– More receptive, look for anything noteworthy
& interesting
– Matching a checklist against the
requirements of T&L situation
[Cunningsworth]
NOTE: a combination of both approaches
forms a sound basis for evaluation
6. EVALUATION APPROACHES
• EXTERNAL EVALUATION
• Examine the organization of the book as
stated explicitly by author
• look at blurb, introduction/foreword & table of
content
• Find out answers to questions raised such as
the target audience, proficiency level of target
audience, context, etc
7. EVALUATION APPROACHES
• INTERNAL EVALUATION
– In-depth investigation into the materials
– To check the validity of claims made by
authors
– Look into at least two (or more) factors such
as the presentation of skills, the grading &
sequencing, skills representation,
incorporation of other skills
(listening/speaking)
8. EVALUATION APPROACHES
• OVERALL EVALUATION
–An overall assessment to the
suitability of the materials for the
teachers’ learning context
–Criteria to check including usability,
generalizability, adaptability &
flexibility (versatility)
9. EVALUATION METHODS
• Piloting – use a small range of material
for a short length of time; a trial run
• Opinions from other practicing teachers –
within & outside the institution
• Students’ view – whether they like the
book or if it helps them in learning
• Detailed analysis – when other methods
are not possible
10. PILOTING
• Materials are trialed before they are
revised & disseminated more widely
• Provides a feel whether :
– the materials actually works or not
– Aims of the materials are fulfilled
– Appropriate in level, content & approach
– Suitable for particular ages & groups of
learners
(T149-189)
11. PILOTING (cont’d)
– Relates well to teachers’ expectations &
stages of development
– Successfully promotes learning
• Reveals in details the component of
success
– Innovative approach
– Implemented in practical terms, accessible to
teachers & learners
– Requirements can be followed by teachers &
learners
12. PILOTING (cont’d)
–Organized into suitable chunks of
lessons, sections, units
–Amount of preparations required
–Fulfilled suitable number of hours
–Helps to achieve learning outcomes
that is satisfactory & measurable
–Provide sense of progression
–Balance of skills is appropriate
(T183-185)
13. STAGES OF EVALUATION
• Grant (1987) cited in Yilmaz 2005:
– Initial evaluation
• quick process
• check preface, contents & abstract
– Detailed evaluation
• Teacher make own judgment
• Use of questionnaires
– In-use evaluation
14. Grant’s ‘CATALYST’
• A test proposed by Grant to decide the
worthiness of the material in hand by asking
some key questions:
– Communicative?
– Aims?
– Teachable?
– Available?
– Level?
– Your impression
– Students’ interest?
– Tried & tested?
15. Cunningsworth’s (1984)
underlying principles
• Relate teaching materials to your aims &
objectives
• Be aware of what language is for & select
teaching materials which will help equip your
students to use language effectively for their
own purposes
• Keep your students’ learning in mind
• Consider the relationship between language,
learning process & learners
16. Robinett’s (1978)Checklist
• Goals of the course
• Background of the
students
• Approach
• Language skills
• General content
• Quality of practical
material
• Sequencing
• Vocabulary
• General
sociolinguistics
factors
• Format
• Accompanying
materials
• Teacher’s guide
