Published in: 2002
The study investigated how English Language teachers evaluated English Language Teaching (ELT) web sites, and the challenges that they faced in this process. An Evaluation Instrument informed by a number of published evaluation criteria was developed and participating teachers used this to evaluate selected ELT web sites in the following areas: Site content, Interface design and usability, and pedagogy.
From the study, it emerged that a number of factors seemed to determine the different decisions that teachers made about ELT web sites. The challenges they faced included those caused by bad web design practices by site owners, the web’s hypermedia nature, the evaluation criteria available and also lack of familiarity with the expectations of evaluation tools such as that designed for the study. The need to incorporate evaluation of ELT web content in teacher preparation programmes emerged from the study.
