State of the Art in Materials Development by Tomlinson
  1. Conclusions
    1. We are now much more aware of the principles and procedures of Materials Development.
      1. Teachers are critical of their course books
        1. The future of materials development: Materials will increasingly be delivered electronically through computers and smartphones
        2. Research in Materials Development
          1. There is little research on Materials Development
            1. It requires considerable investments of time and money in highly controlled environments.
            2. There are many interesting projects on materials development in India, Nambia, Bulgaria, Romania and Congo
              1. Issues in Materials Development
                1. Coursebooks are used to save money and time however coursebooks are not considered to be sufficiently engaging or relevant for their actual users.
                  1. Authentic materials provide meaningful exposure to language and it is produced in order to communicate rather than to teach
                    1. There are some topics that are very important in materials development and in humanising materials
                    2. Materials exploitation
                      1. Huminise course and text books
                        1. The use of materials depend on the different teacher's pedagogical needs and goals
                        2. Materials Production
                          1. Materials must be framed in the context learning and local criteria specific to the target learning context
                          2. Materials Adapatation
                            1. It is very important that teachers adapt the materials to the context in which they are using.
                              1. It is necessary tha students have an active participation in the adaptation process
                              2. Materials evaluation
                                1. There are many questions to evaluate materials, the decision to implement some questions depend on the evaluator's criteria and based on users of materials
                                2. Current trends
                                  1. Nowadays, Materials Development focus on the application of theory to practice and practice to theory
                                  2. Materials are anything that can be used to facilitate the learning of a language.
                                    1. Informative
                                      1. Experiancial
