which is useful for students in "listening comprehension" and the website contains lots of video clips which should be very interesting for students. Subject to further group discussion, the evaluation criteria will consist the following:1. Layout and graphics - comparatively the layout of this website is quite simple and easy to handle. It contains various video clips that may be used as tools in teaching/learning "listening comprehension". The source of video clips comes from YouTube, Google Video etc and is unlimited.
2. Selection and grading - the video clips of this website are divided into several grades, namely "beginning", "low-intermediate", "intermediate" and "high-intermediate" to suit different levels of students.
3. Authenticity - since the source of video clips is unlimited, they can be extracts of films, TV shows, news reporting and interview etc, providing a wide range of authentic samples for English learning.
4. Guidance - this website provides some simple guidelines for teachers to create their own quizzes to suit their teaching purpose. By means of the website design, one can replay the video clip to counter-check the answers and as an instinct feedback for the students.
The above evaluation criteria are preliminary proposals and may be revised according to the circumstances.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
In addition to the criteria you have set out here, I think it would be helpful if you could consider what you think the role of the computer, teacher and learner are intended to be for this web site. Computer as tutor, tool, stimulus? Is this an example of behaviouristic, communicative, integrative CALL? What kinds of activities would you suggest that the web site be used for and what kind of teaching approach should be adopted? It would be good if you could relate this to your own experience, and a particular teaching context.

Thanks for your comment and basically this website is used as a tool in English teaching, though in some way it stimulates the learners' interest. I will provide further elaboration in this aspect after discussing with my group members who have practical teaching experience.
