Abstract

Chang-KeunThe purpose of this study was to develop evaluation criteria for Web-Based English Instruction(WBEI) Programs. To achieve this purpose I first analysed the elements of WBEI and the models for the Design of WBEI. From the analysis I chose key elements from which I derived criteria for different areas of the developing conceptual model. The areas were divided into four categories: learning aims, content design, learning/teaching strategies, and technological support available for learning language. These areas were subdivided into 28 items for the evaluation criteria such as the clearness of learning aims, the appropriateness of feedback, and loading speed. These items, then, were examined in terms of objectivity by the meta-evaluation group, and five items were left out as inappropriate. Thus, 24 items were finally considered as evaluation criteria.In the mean time the result of the application of the criteria items on the 5 Web sites for English education revealed that this evaluation criteria system worked fairly well. However, there exist considerable validity and objectivity concerns.I dare not say that the criteria developed in this study is completed. Instead, I admit that it is one of many experimental criteria. Therefore, for the developing better criteria it is necessary that we continually receive feedback from the schools about the effectiveness of WBEI programs and that we derive our criteria from this experience.＜Keukdong College＞
