Abstract

The present paper draws insights to teacher and learners in terms of material development. Teaching of a language (foreign or second) has been an important issue in today’s world. Also it is not only an area of teaching but also an area of economic concerns. As a natural outcome, that brings out, a hard competition among the publishers to obtain the high quality of the materials. Any language learning process traditionally needs print materials or non-print materials (Reinders and White, 2010; Richards, 2001, p. 251; McGrath, 2002, pp. 125-136). Having reviewed related literature on materials evaluation and development, it is clear that not only one should get benefit from a wide variety of resources but one should consider many dimensions of evaluation to reach the ultimate aim of teaching-learning process. It should also be in mind that today’s evaluations and materials will not be sufficient for tomorrow’s setting.
