The Empirical Evaluation of Language Teaching Materials.
Ellis, Rod
ELT Journal, v51 n1 p36-42 Jan 1997
Distinguishes two types of materials evaluation: a predictive evaluation designed to make a decision regarding what materials to use, and a retrospective evaluation to examine materials already used. Describes a procedure for conducting task evaluations, suggesting that they constitute a kind of action research that can contribute to reflective teaching. (15 references) (Author/CK)
