The purpose of this study was to investigate the views of in-service and pre-service teachers on a graduate course of ELT materials evaluation and development in order to have a better understanding of what teachers might face in selecting and developing teaching materials. The main methods for data collection were reflection papers(of material evaluation and development), open-ended surveys, individual interviews with the teachers, and documents related to the course. Qualitative methodology as well as quantitative methodology were applied to examine what might govern the teachers’ process of material evaluation and development, and find out which difficulties the teachers experienced in doing this. The results of the study revealed that first of all, the principles of language teaching and learning held by the teachers were likely to have a propounding influence on their approach toward the evaluation and development process. The study also showed that experience of conducting hands-on evaluation of materials raised the teachers’ awareness of what aspects of materials they should pay more attention to when evaluating materials for selection or adaptation. Along with the evaluation, creating materials by following up the systematic steps resulted in positive reactions from the teachers in terms of gaining knowledge as well as professional development
