LANGUAGE TEACHING MATERIALS AND DEVELOPMENT FOR LEARNING AND TEACHING

1. 1Materials could be...

   

   1. AInformative, instructional, experiential, electing, exploratory.
   2. BInformative, humanized, adaptative, determining, exploratory.
   3. CInstructional, experiential, universal, electing, authentic.
2. 2 Much of the early literature on materials development attempted to help teachers and materials developers to develop criteria for evaluating and selecting materials. Tomlison & [blank_start]Mashaura[blank_end] proposed some questions for [blank_start]evaluating criteria[blank_end].
   It turns around [blank_start]retrospective[blank_end] evaluation, [blank_start]determining criteria[blank_end], and context

4. 4Tomlinson published a book, in one of the chapters (Language acquisition and language-learning materials), he proposed the following principles:
   • The [blank_start]language experience[blank_end] needs to be contextualized and comprehensible.
   • The learner needs to be [blank_start]motivated[blank_end], relaxed, [blank_start]positive[blank_end], and engaged.
   • The [blank_start]language and discourse[blank_end] features available for potential acquisition need to be salient, meaningful and frequently encountered.
   • The learner needs to achieve deep and [blank_start]multi-dimensional processing[blank_end] of the language.

6. 6[blank_start]Behaviorism[blank_end] in one form of another has been firmly cemented into language teaching materials, with its persistence right up to the present day, as the continuing use of drills, substitution tables and such like, demonstrates.
   

   

   1. ABehaviorism
7. 7The period from the late 1960s to the late 1970s is characterized by:

   1. AProviding massive funds for the development of language programs.
   2. BThe emergence of numerous ‘fringe,’ humanistic methodologies.
   3. CDevelopments in English language teaching (ELT).
8. 8Recognition that learners have their own unique ways of approaching in language study, own strategies and styles of strategies are characteristics that summarize better the age of:
   

   1. AThe 1970s to the mid-1980s.
   2. BThe late 1960s to the late 1970s.
   3. CThe 1950s/60s and the cold war.
9. 9Which are characteristics that better describe the impact that McDonaldization has had in the design of language teaching materials?
   

   

   1. AStronger sense of communication.
   2. BMaterials are presented in a routine “by chunks”.
   3. CUnusual perspectives.
   4. D2-page spread.and 50 min. lessons.
   5. ESelf-Directed Learning Approach.

   8. HThe material provides a guide on how teachers and students must interact.
10. 10 Neoliberalism has its origins in the work of classical economists as [blank_start]Adam Smith[blank_end]. It stimulates [blank_start]economic growth[blank_end] and increasing divisions between [blank_start]rich and poor[blank_end]. The market is the arbiter for all. The key to the successful function of the market is [blank_start]ATOMISATION[blank_end] (a subdivision of [blank_start]goods and services[blank_end], such as “added value” can be determined through monetization).
