Abstract

Self-access material evaluation is an important practice in ELT material design and development. However, locally, much research has not been done in the field. Therefore, to design and apply criteria for the evaluation process of the ELT self-access modules and carry out a research in our context is a crucial phenomenon.. This study deals with the evaluation of a self-access module undertaken at St. Mary’s and Alpha University Colleges (Basic English II and English 10+2 respectively). Having formulated framework questions of self-access material evaluation, questionnaires and document analysis have been administered to collect data and results were analyzed using percentages, frequency and median. Statistical analysis reveals that the materials are not at the right standard or level of quality to a self-managed language learning /teaching. Yet the majority of users and tutors of text 1 still want to use the material. On the other hand, unlike to their tutors, considerable number of users of text 2 seems to be only partially satisfied by the material. Finally recommendations have been given based on the findings
