Since the changeover from government-issued to government-authorized English textbooks, various materials have been developed to meet the educational needs in middle schools in Korea. Teachers and evaluators have been provided opportunities to assess the potential value of developed materials for their students. This study strives to provide a pro-forma that teachers and evaluators can refer to when they evaluate English materials for middle school students. The pro-forma with 13 criteria was designed, based on the rationales and principles underlying the development of language teaching and learning materials. The focus was on learners aged between 13 and 15 years old. The 13 criteria include needs of learners and teachers, objectives, user definition, affective validity, physical aspects, contents and activities, learner variables, communicative interactions, relevance and utility, authenticity and practicality, cultural awareness, learner autonomy and adaptability.
