The recent development of information and communication technology (ICT) has made it possible for students to access an enormous amount of up-to-date course materials and resources through the websites in and outside the classroom. However, for those who haven’t had much online learning experiences, it is often difficult to locate the appropriate information within a limited time frame. They have problems of choosing websites which are appropriate for their needs and preferences. Various kinds of guidelines or checklists have been created to evaluate traditional paper-based educational materials, but not much has been written for judging the effectiveness of instructional websites in hybrid language learning environments. The purpose of this paper is to describe a research project in which Japanese university students evaluate English language websites and to examine their thoughts of the evaluation processes. This paper also suggests a series of criteria developed for successful evaluation of such websites.
