THE EVALUATION OF TEACHERS' GUIDES- DESIGN AND APPLICATION

This paper begins with a discussion of the functions of the teachers' guide (TG). This is followed by an examination of various issues in the design of TG evaluations, and several existing checklists of criteria for evaluation of TGs and ELT materials in general are introduced. The next section concerns itself with evaluation in the context of a private language school. Finally, a model for TG evaluation in this context is developed. It is hoped that readers will be able to adapt this model in order to carry out TG evaluations in their own contexts. Reference tables are provided in two appendices.
