- 1State-of-the-Art: Materials development Brian TomlinsonMaterials can be informative (informing the learner about the target language)
- 2Instructional (guiding the learner in practising the language)Experiential
(providing the learner with experience of the language in use)
- 3Eliciting (encouraging the learner to use the language)Exploratory (helping the learner to make discoveries about the language).
- 4‘Materials development’ refers to all the processes made use of by practitioners who produce and/or use materials for language learningIncluding materials evaluation, their adaptation, design, production, exploitation and research.
- 5MATERIALS EVALUATION Many of the lists of evaluation criteria in the literature above are specific to a context of learning and cannot be transferred to other contexts without considerable modification.MATERIALS ADAPTATION
- 6Good teachers are always adapting the materials they are using to the context in which they are using themIn order to achieve the optimal congruence between , methodology, learners, objectives, the target language and the teacher’s personality and teaching style.
- 7One problem with the tasks is that they are not situated in a specific learning context, even though one of the main objectives of adaptation is to make the materials of more value to the students using them.MATERIALS PRODUCTION
- 8-Language materials cannot only be shaped by research but need to suit the contexts in which they are used. -Take into account the needs of the students.-What is the purpose of my material?
-There are very few publications offering practical guidance to materials writers on how to
develop effective materials. - 9Issues in materials development: -The value of textbooks -The need for published materials -Pedagogic approaches -Authenticity of texts and tasks- Acceptability
-Humanising materials
-Ideology in materials
-The roles of new technologies in language-learning materials. - 10TO SUM UPTeachers haS to be trained in materials development for be more critical and to be more willing, confident and able to localise and personalise their coursebooks for their learners. It is a hard work but teachers can face the obstacles of creating materials.
