For this week task, we were assigned
with an article regarding coursebook and material evaluation. The title of the
article is Evaluating ELT textbooks and materials by Leslie E. Sheldon. Other than
the checklist provided in we were also be able to understand more on other
checklist by different authors such as William, Grant and Littlejohn.
Through this task, I realized that there are no perfect ways of evaluating a coursebooks or materials. It all all depends on the situation where the coursebooks or materials being implemented. The situation and environment also need to be taken into consideration in selecting a material for teaching and learning process in a classroom.
Sheldon’s checklist is simple and easy to be used. It consist of 17 criteria that comprises not only can apply to evaluate the content of the a coursebook but also the physical criteria and technical part of a coursebook. However, we also spot the weaknesses of the checklist.
