| Research Abstract |
This research attempted the application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in English language teaching materials evaluation, focusing in particular on its potential for systematically integrating different components of evaluation criteria in a variety of teaching contexts. AHP is a measurement procedure wherein pairwise comparisons are made at different levels, each of which comprises a specific criterion, resulting in a systematic method that integrates each criteria component to arrive at a final evaluation outcome and weighs each component in order to adapt the evaluation to the particular teaching context. After a series of trial simulations by several in-service teachers, the application program for ipad has been developed and now almost ready for practical use. The program is to be presented in the next AILA World Congress in Brisbane, Australia, which will be held in August, 2014.
