Assessment Information
There are three parts to the assessment. The students:
a) evaluate a set of materials (e.g. a coursebook)
b) make a proposal for materials adaptation/design
b) evaluate these materials.
They submit:
- their materials, or a representative section of them;
- the materials evaluation that they carried out;
- a rationale for the materials design and the evaluation;
- a statement of what they have learnt by carrying out these tasks;
- a statement of how the materials and design relate to current research issues in evaluation and design of TESOL materials.
