Resource summary

Materials development for language learning and teaching
  1. Materials evaluation
    1. evaluation instruments
      1. set a series of questions about how suitable the activities are
    2. Materials adaptation
      1. adapt the materials to the context in which the teachers are using them.

        Annotations:

        • in order to achieve a congruence between materials, methodology, learners, objectives, the target language and the teacher's personality and style. 
        1. adding, deleting, modifying, simplifying and reordering.
          1. involve learners in the process

            1. aiming to be learner-centred, flexible, open-ended, relevant, universal and authentic.
              1. giving choices to learners.
          2. Materials production
            1. influence by principles of language acquisition
              1. focus on the creative, inspirational aspect of materials and on making use of prior experience of teaching
              2. Materials exploitation
                1. procedures to help teachers to humanise their coursebooks.
                  1. teachers adapt aspects of cultural content.

                    Annotations:

                    • local institutional and classroom requirements.
                2. Issues
                  1. value of textbooks
                    1. Agree: offer teachers the resources they need to base their lessons on.
                      1. Disagree: is inevitably superficial and reductionist in its coverage of language points and its provision of language experience.
                      2. Published Materials
                        1. over the years published materials have been replacen with home-made materials to achieve relevance and engagement.
                        2. pedagogic approaches
                          1. for the last 40 years PPP approaches have been used.

                            Annotations:

                            • frequent use of low-level practice activities as listen and repeat, dialogue repetition, matching and filling in the blanks.
                            1. many writers have proposed more experiential approaches to using language-learning materials

                              Annotations:

                              • language awareness approach: learners first experience a text holistically and then analyse it with a view to making discoveries for themselves about language use
                            2. texts and tasks
                              1. Agree: help the learners by focusing their processing energies on the target feature.
                                1. Disagree: overprotect learners and don't prepare them for reality of language use outside the classroom.
                                  1. authenticity: in relation with the learner's culture.
                                  2. Acceptability

                                      1. the necessity of personalise, localise and make meaningful the learners experience in the target language.
                                        1. need for materials to be effectively engaging and cater for all learning style preferences.
                                      2. new technologies in language-learning materials
                                        1. Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) materials facilitate learning depending on how the technology is implemented.
                                          1. facilitate reading

                                            Annotations:
