A practitioner's commentary on C. Chan (2009): “Forging a link between research and pedagogy: A holistic framework for evaluating business English materials”
In this commentary, I discuss the value of Chan's (2009) research-informed checklists for evaluating business English materials by providing a practitioner's approach to using the checklists. I adapted the checklists for three different uses. The first was to evaluate the teaching methodology followed in a business English textbook from an ESP series. The second use was as a guide and evaluation tool for my in-house business English material development. The final use was also to support the design and then evaluation of custom-made banking English course materials. In conclusion, I found that adapting these research-informed checklists, based on local needs, creates opportunities for professional development, tailored courses, and transferability to other ESP genres.
