Complete 3 pages APA formatted article: Aptness of the Course Material in a Certain Learning/Teaching Atmosphere. According to Sheldon (1998, p.242), ‘global list of criteria can never apply in most local environments, without considerable evaluation’. As a result, it can be concluded that the nature of the learning/ teaching atmosphere may vary under different circumstances. Hence, it is important to keep in mind the requirements and significance of the specific learners in certain teaching conditions when selecting the criteria for the assessment of resources. There are many guidelines and checklists for evaluating the course material aimed to meet the needs of ELT situations as proposed by the majority of different authors. In the next section, some of these criteria are discussed in detail. According to McDonough and Shaw (1993, p.66), the criteria needed to evaluate the course material are categorized into two stages, external and internal. investigate different criteria in two stages, namely the external and internal stages. According to these researchers, the proposed criteria helps in a thorough evaluation of the learning material which is considered comprehensive to meet the ELT needs of the learners and the teachers around the globe. It has been pointed out by the researchers that the evaluation process is not concrete in nature. it changes with the learning/ teaching needs. The external evaluation revolves around meeting the needs of the intended audience, the ability of the learners/teachers, the framework of the material it is based on, the arrangement and presentation of the units/lessons, the author’s analysis of language, and understanding. These are aspects to be taken into consideration when evaluating the materials to be used.
