Abstract:

The present article reports a study that employed the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation instructional design model to develop an e-speaking skills upskilling programme. It is guided by the research question: How do subject matter experts rate the Instructional Design, Content, User Control, and Technical components of the online learning platform prototype? The study is significant because it addresses the gap in research regarding the development of an Online Teacher Professional Development programme specifically targeted at enhancing the speaking skills of a group of non-specialist English language teachers. It describes the development of the prototype that involves several stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. At the Implementation stage, expert validation was conducted where five subject matter experts were asked to rate the Instructional Design, Content, User Control and Technical components of the online learning platform. The findings indicate that the Content component requires revision, especially on items concerning bias and suitability with the learning objectives. Some suggestions to address the issues were provided. It is concluded that expert validation is important at the Implementation stage as it aligns with the continuous improvement that is fundamental to the ADDIE model.
