This paper reports on the development and interpretation of a frame of reference for foreign language materials evaluation(FRef_FLME).Employing a mixed-methods approach,the study encompasses several steps including concept analysis and a related literature review to establish the initial framework,large-scale surveys for the refinement,a quasi-Delphi method for its further revision,and model fitting for quantitative validation.The process resulted in the FRef_FLME which comprises six primary indicators—intellectual depth,standardization,scientific rigor,systematic coherence,practical applicability,and engagingness—and eighteen subsequent secondary indicators.Finally,the paper briefly interprets these primary indicators and offer suggestions and perspectives on the use and future application of the FRef_FLME.
