“In the sixties and early seventies they stressed they were teaching the language directly, without the use of ( translation, coursebooks ) or ( dictionaries, explanation ): in the seventies they boasted that they were following a ( communicative approach, PPP (Presentation,Practice,Production) ) which featured either the learning of functions or notions, or both. Subsequently, they have claimed to be following natural approaches based on topics, themes or tasks and many coursebooks nowadays stress that their syllabus is based on the ‘can do’ statements of the Common European Framework…´´

According to Tomilson and its opinion about the need of published material, he sets:
..."My position is that most teachers and students welcome published materials and can
gain from them. However, if a teacher has ( confidence, principled creativity, Money and budget ) and the respect
of their learners, then a textbook-free course can actually be more facilitative in providing
the ( contextualization, and exposure, personalised, relevant and engaging ) experience of language in use and opportunities
for observing how the language is used and for meaningful ( communication, teaching and learning process ), which many
textbook authors find it difficult to provide."

Amrani 2011 reports:
I would like to see more ❌ textbooks and more ❌ which are designed to be ❌ and to
offer teachers and students opportunities for localisation, personalisation and choice. In
addition, publishers could produce web-based global ‘coursebooks’ which offer opportunities
for ❌, ❌ and replacement and which facilitate ‘an ongoing process where
materials are refined and even changed throughout the life of a product’
