criteria

Today, we learned how to evaluate the CALL. There are six important criteria in teacher's handout. We thought the unit is difficult, but the teacher said it just a basic theory of the evaluation CALL. When we heard that, most of us felt surprised and thought "GOD! We should not take this class."(Ha1Ha! Just kidding!)
Finally, we choosed All Plus to be our evaluation material. Although it's a CD-ROM with magazinea, we still think it worth to evaluate. Not only its great content but also its easily software instruction, All Plus can improve the learners' English skill.
