摘要：Some principles or criteria are provided to learners when they use English learning websites or CALL materials (Economides, 2003; Jamieson & Preiss, 2005; Johnson, Hornikb, & Salas, 2008; Liu, Liu, & Hwang, 2011; Wang & Chen, 2009; Yang & Chan, 2008). However, little research has been conducted to describe a set of evaluation criteria for English courses, especially on English listening and speaking. The main purpose of the study is trying to construct a multi-dimensional set of criteria for English teachers to evaluate the quality of e-learning English listening and speaking courses. These criteria can assist English teachers in designing effective English listening and speaking courses to improve students’ English listening and speaking ability. The developmental research applied in this paper constructed and refined the evaluation criteria using literature review, procedure, experts’ reviews and document analysis (George & Mallery, 2003). These evaluation guidelines were based on the aspects of a) information for e-learning course, b) English teaching, and c) listening and speaking teaching. In order to achieve this goal, the researcher used a four-stage procedure to refine and form the evaluation criteria. In the first stage, the 98 preliminary criteria were conducted based on general information of e-learning course, English teaching and teaching English listening and speaking related researches. The second stage focused on experts’ opinions for the preliminary criterion through online Google Docs with five-Likert scale. The third stage was to conduct both experts’ and learners’ opinions according to the results of stage two. Last stage was to finalize the criteria based on quantitative and qualitative surveys. 90 items were finalized in the criteria for evaluating the English listening and speaking e-learning course.
