- Abstract
This paper evaluates the use of English materials on a recently booming online learning platform in Indonesia named Ruang Guru. It analyzed the contents of the materials for instructional purposes and evaluates whether they are worth purchasing by English learners from financial points of view. The study is qualitative in nature as it is a descriptive content analysis. The data were collected by downloading English learning materials and videos in the Ruang Guru application provided by the schools for their students. The data were analyzed based on the criteria proposed by Minister of Education and Culture in Indonesia in terms of standard of goals, contents, processes and assessments set up in the national curriculum of 2013. The study found that; (a) most of the language topics presented by Ruang Guru on the materials and videos were in line with the prescribed topics on the government addressed syllabus, curriculum and other documents, (b) the topics presented are based on national curriculum 2013, and (c) the payment charged for subscription on this online learning platform is fairly considerable for a number of considerations.
