英语教材评估标准
1.Cunningsworth (1995) 建议的教材评估四项标准:
1.They should correspond to learners’ needs. They should match the aims and objectives of the language learning program.
2.They should reflect the uses (present or future) that learners will make of the language. Textbooks should be chosen that will help equip students to use language effectively for their own purposes.
3.They should take account of students’ needs as learners and should facilitate their learning processes, without dogmatically imposing a rigid “method”.
4.They should have a clear role as a support for learning. Liking teachers, they mediate between the target language and the learner.
2.Grant(1987)从三个方面,学生、教师、大纲和考试,设计了选择教材教材的三个调查表:
Choosing a textbook: questionaire (part I):
Does the book suit your students?
1.Is it attractive? Given the average age of your students, would they enjoy using it?
2.Is it culturally accepted?
3.Does it reflect what you know about your students’ needs and interests?
4.Is it about the right level of difficulty?
5.Is it about the right length?
6.Are the course’s physical characteristics appropriate? (e.g. is it durable)
7.Are there enough authentic materials, so that the students can see that the book is relevant to real life?
8.Does it achieve an acceptable balance between knowledge about the language, and practice in using the language?
9.Does it achieve an acceptable balance between the relevant language skills, and integrate them so that work in one skill area helps the others?
10.Does the book contain enough communicative activities to enable the students to use the language independently.
(Score: 2 points for every YES answer. 1 point for every PARTLY answer. 0 for every NO answer.)
Choosing a textbook: questionaire (part II):
Does the book suit the teacher?
1.Is your overall impression of the contents and layout of the course favourable?
2.Is there a good, clear teacher’s guide with answers and help on methods and additional activities?
3.Can one use the book in the classroom without constantly having to turn to the teacher’s guide?
4.Are the recommended methods and approaches suitable for you, your students and your classroom?
5.Are the approaches easily adaptable if necessary?
6.Does using the course require little or no time-consuming preparation?
7.Are useful ancillary materials such as tapes, workbooks, and visuals provided?
8.Is there sufficient provision made for tests and revision?
9.Does the book use a ‘spiral’ approach, so that items are regularly revised and used again in different contexts?
10.Is the course appropriate for, and liked by, colleagues?
(Score: 2 points for every YES answer. 1 point for every PARTLY answer. 0 for every NO answer.)
Choosing a textbook: questionaire (part III):
Does the book suit the syllabus and examination?
1.Has the book been recommended or approved by the authorities?
2.Does the book follow the official syllabus in a creative manner?
3.Is the course well-graded, so that it gives well-structured and systematic coverage of the language?
4。If it does more than the syllabus requires, is the result an improvement?
5.Are the activities, contents and methods used in the course well-planned and executed?
6。Has it been prepared specifically for the target examination?
7.Do the course’s methods help the students prepare for the exam?
8.Is there a good balance between what the examination requires, and what the students need?
9。Is there enough examination practice?
10.Does the course contain useful hints on examination technique?
(Score: 2 points for every YES answer. 1 point for every PARTLY answer. 0 for every NO answer.)
