the material that will be used unchanged, reject either completely or partially sections of the material, add extensions or further exploitation of the existing materials and replace components of the materials.
13Saraceni (2003)advocates providing the learners with an important role in adapting the materials they are using. In order to involve learners in the process, she proposes that materials should actually be written with learner adaptation in mind, aiming to be learner-centred, flexible, open-ended, relevant, universal and authentic, and giving choices to learners.
14Tomlinson (2003)goes on to advocate a humanistic coursebook which engages affectthrough personalised activities and which provides imaging, inner voice, kinaesthetic andprocess activities.
15Tomlinson & Masuhara (2004)proposed the following questions for evaluating criteria:

20Maley (2011)points out how technology can
be used as a resource ‘for the freeing of teachers and learners alike from the constraints of the coursebook’ and for providing flexible access to unlimited information resources’. However, he also points out that change is so rapid that the resources are bound to be ephemeral, that there is a danger of ‘total capitulation to technology’
21Gray (2012)Celebrities permeates published materials The commodification of education has led to the sale of knowledge to potential students in order to obtain a diploma
