3. Evaluation Procedure
Evaluation criteria, procedures, tools, and methods have not been openly introduced to individual teachers.
In turn, there are few research studies on the effectiveness and efficiency of MALL content evaluation
process and methods.
The Council of Ministers of Education (1985) laid out the procedure for CALL content evaluation
Accompanying materials and peripheral parts related to the content such as manual,
teachers guide, and users
guide need to be evaluated.
The content as a whole is evaluated for general impression and format.
The content is evaluated in detail using a content checklist.

Table 3.3 MALL content evaluation criteria and elements, and methods
04. Conclusion
1. It can be said that evaluation, selection, and implementation of appropriate MALL content require
all those who are involved teachers, professional, evaluators, organizations and institutions,
and specialists to be responsible and come together as a team.
2. To address the lack of awareness in MALL content evaluation, this chapter introduces simple
and comprehensive content evaluation criteria and checklists appropriate for EFL classrooms in Korea
based on previous research.
3. In conclusion, the teachers in current EFL classrooms are more multimedia friendly and aware than
before. In fact, many classrooms are quite knowledgeable and experienced in using computers and PLDs.
4. MALL content developers, organizations for the content evaluation, MEST, provincial offices of education,
and others should make database, resources, and facilities available for teachers to evaluate the content
and refer to previous evaluations conducted.
