This study investigates the current uses of children's ELT materials in Taiwan. A questionnaire was sent to English teachers in different areas of Taiwan to collect information on the frequently used children's ELT materials and the perceived strengths and weaknesses of these materials. Opinions on whether or not new materials should be developed by teachers and EFL scholars in Taiwan were also solicited. The survey results show that most English teachers use imported textbooks and materials that are developed by local English language institutes. Nevertheless, most of the teachers think it is necessary to have more ELT materials that take into consideration the special needs of the children in Taiwan. They suggest that ELT specialists in Taiwan work with native English speakers to develop instructional materials that meet both the needs of the local context and standards of the international ELT community. Based on the survey results, this research suggests ways for the education administrative authority in Taiwan to provide incentives for more locally-produced, high quality ELT materials. In addition, comprehensive surveys and assessment of ELT materials should be conducted periodically by accredited educational research groups and the results should be made available to teachers. It is also suggested that teacher education courses and professional development workshops include sessions that aim at strengthening English teacher's ability in selecting and developing ELT materials.
