Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a critical literacy assessment in online context for EFL learners through designed based research. The assessment was developed through multiple iterative cycles of development, pilot testing, and refinement. The first phase, the development process, include conceptualizing online critical literacy, analyzing the needs for assessing the online sources credibility, and analyzing the aspects of critical literacy in online context. The second phase is expert review which involved the two experts in reading and the teaching of EFL. The third phase, the pilot testing, was conducted through online test and involved think-aloud protocol and interview. Findings of the research shows that this online critical literacy assessment has fulfilled the standard, which include clarity of the assessment, the relevance of the tasks according to the critical literacy concept and the new media ecology, and the appropriateness of the assessment based on the level and the goal of the learning at the tertiary education. Implications of this study include the adjustment of the online critical literacy assessment and the additional instrument to explore the strategies students use to evaluate online sources, their perceived ability of using online tools, and their communicative practices.
