Intro Different contexts (General, Business and EAP) ‘Universal’ framework? - Local context is important (Learners, teachers, aims, syllabus, exams, cultural and practical factors – Roberts, 1996: 381; McDonough and Shaw, 1993; Johnson, et al, 2008)

Identify common points of consideration - Outside of macro-evaluation (vocab list, grammar reference, index etc, McDonough and Shaw, 1993) Framework should be used with context in mind Intro

Background Looked at different frameworks Principles of material development Categorise criteria (Tomlinson, 2013) Prioritise criteria (McDonough and Shaw, 1993) Mix qualitative and quantitative (Roberts, 1996: 384)

Approach Shared criteria 6 categories subcategories Tried to prioritise

Approach Non-negotiable points Individual, context specific ‘top 10’ Overlapping criteria became the basis of the framework

Criteria Adaptable Realistic (comprehensibility) Communicative Meaning-focussed Critical Thinking Engaging Authentic Recycle language Motivating Questions

Questions and scale

Criteria for EvaluationScoreComments Taking into account the teachers’ book, how easy would this be for you to adapt or develop to suit your learners and teaching context?

1. Do the visuals and overall aesthetic engage and motivate learners? 2. Are the topics engaging and motivating for learners? 3. Do the topics promote cultural awareness while remaining culturally sensitive?

4. Do the materials promote communicative practice? 5. Is the language authentic and presented in real world contexts? 6. Are the materials easy to follow in terms of instruction, content and overall cohesion? 7. Do the materials enable learners to have a sense of short term achievement while working towards long-term goals?

8. Are the materials appropriately challenging for learners? 9. Are the materials meaning-focussed? 10. Do the materials encourage critical thinking skills? 11. Are there opportunities within the materials for recycling of language?
