- 1Materials development for language learning and teaching Brian Tomlinson"Materials for language learning’ are anything that can be
used to facilitate the learning of a language"
- 2What is "Materials development"?Materials Development refers to all the processes made use of by practitioners who produce and/or use materials for language learning.
- 3What else "Materials development" includes?It also includes materials evaluation, their adaptation, design, production exploitation and research.
- 4Materials Evaluation1) It is necessary to establish a criteria based on students needs and their context.
2. The materials must be evaluated in terms of its effectiveness.
3. Evaluation is inevitably subjective. - 5Materials Adaptation.Good teachers are always adapting the materials they are using taking into account the context in which they are using them in order to achieve the optimal congruence between: methodology, learners, objectives, the target language, teacher's personality and teaching style.
- 6Materials production.Language materials cannot only be shaped by research but need to suit the context in which they are used and take into account the student's needs.
Teachers should think about the purpose of their materials. - 7Materials Exploitation.How teachers use materials depending on the pedagogical goals.
- 8Materials can be: 1) Informative. 2) Experiential. 3) Instructional. 4) Eliciting. 5) Exploratory.1) By giving to learners information about the target language.
2)Providing the learner with experience of the language in use
3) As a guide to learners o put into practice the language.
4) Encouraging the learner use the language. - 9What are the issues in Materials development?1) The value of textbooks.
2) The need for published materials.
3) Pedagogic approaches.
4) Authenticity of text and tasks.
5) Acceptability.
6) Humanizing materials.
7) ideology in materials.
8) the roles of new technologies in language-learning materials. - 10Conclusion.It is necessary for teachers to be trained in materials development, in such a way that they can be able to design and personalize their own materials and that these are designed taking into account the needs of the students and the context in which they will be applied, and allow to reach the proposed objectives for the target language learning process Finally, the learning-teaching processes should adjust to the requirements of today's students.
