techniques are used?
How is earlier learning developed or refined in later
sections of the section?

the materials? Is there one predetermined route, or
are alternatives/optional routes given?

14. Are there reference sections? If so, are there pointers
to them in the main text? Are they well integrated?
Is there an index of language items?
Is there a list of new vocabulary? If so, does it show
where each is first introduced?
Is the material suitable for use in a self-study mode?
Does it have a key to exercise?
If it is a new course, are all components published and
available? If it is not yet complete, will the next levels
be ready when you need them?
