follow some criteria so that a website is determined as a good one or not. Lever-Duffy and McDonald 2009 propose some criteria that can be used
to decide whether an educational website is a well made website or vice versa. Those criteria are:
a. The design should be well organized and logical. b. The site should be easy to navigate.
c. The website should have the appropriate authority and provide
meaningful information. d. The website should free from bias.
e. The website should clearly cite the source
Roblyer and Doering 2010 also propose a set of criteria of a good website. They suggest that a good educational website should have:
a. Good structure and organization b. Clear text andor graphic links
c. Good visual design d. Easy navigation
d. Developing Own Website
Although using previously made activities is tempting, there are many advantages to creating your own interactive language learning activities for

o Accessibility: By putting course material on the Web, teachers provide students with 24-hour, independent access to course

o Adaptability: Web-based activities can easily be modified to support students at different proficiency levels or with special

After understanding the advantages of an own website, create a website is worthy. To make a well made website, there are some steps which can be
employed. Roblyer and Doering 2010 proposed eight steps to make a good website i.e.:
a Planning and making story-board b Developing pages with texts
c Inserting images and frames d Inserting links and frames
e Inserting interactive elements f Test in a browser
g Publishing the site h Gathering evaluation and comments
e. Web-based Writing Learning Materials
After understanding web-based instruction and its connections in the preceding part, web-based writing learning materials will be examined. The
first thing that must be understood is what materials are in this context. Materials are anything which is used by teachers by learners in order to help
