Questions in this quiz (10)
1According to Brian Tomlinson Materials can be?
- AInformative, Instructional, experiential, eliciting and exploratory
- BInformative, Instructional,deductive and clear
- CAnything that can be used to facilitate the learning of a language
2Materials development involve?
- AAn academic field of study
- BExploitation of materials
- CProduction, evaluation and adaptation of materials
3the good teacher is constantly adapting materials?
- ATrue
- BFalse
4Many 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
- ATrue
- BFalse
5Tomlinson & Masuhara (2004: 7) proposed the following questions for evaluating criteria:
a) Is each question an [blank_start]evaluation question[blank_end]?
b) Does each question only [blank_start]ask one question[blank_end]?
c) Is each question [blank_start]answerable[blank_end]?
d) Is each [blank_start]question free of[blank_end] dogma?
e) Is each question [blank_start]reliable[blank_end] in the sense that other evaluators would [blank_start]interpret it in the same[blank_end] way?
- Aevaluation question
- Bask one question
- Canswerable
- Dreliable
- Einterpret it in the same
- Fquestion free of
6Very few of the lists of criteria proposed in the literature satisfy these conditions, and most of them are not generalisable or transferable. For example:
- AAre there any materials for testing? Is it attractive?
- BIs it easy to do and solve? It has good colors and drawings?
- CDoes the writer use current everyday language, and sentence structures that follow normal
word order? - DAre the various stages in a teaching unit adequately developed?
7Tomlinson (2003b) He defines local criteria as those [blank_start]specific to the context[blank_end] in which the materials are [blank_start]going to be used[blank_end], arguing that they are best [blank_start]generated[blank_end] from a profile, recognises that evaluation is inevitably [blank_start]subjective[blank_end], that it ‘focuses on [blank_start]the users of the materials[blank_end]’ and attempts to measure the potential or actual [blank_start]effects[blank_end] of the materials on their users
- Aspecific to the context
- Bspecific to the area of study
- Cgoing to be used
- Dbooks that would be specifically applied
- Egenerated
- Fself-generated
- Gsubjective
- Hobjective
- Ithe users of the materials
- Jthe users of the books
- Keffects
- Lspecial effects
8Materials adaptation: The important point is that good t[blank_start]eachers[blank_end] are always a[blank_start]dapting[blank_end] the m[blank_start]aterials[blank_end] in order to achieve the optimal congruence between materials, methodology, le[blank_start]arners[blank_end], obj[blank_start]ectives[blank_end] and the target la[blank_start]nguage[blank_end], the teacher’s pe[blank_start]rsonality[blank_end] and teaching st[blank_start]yle[blank_end]
- Aeachers
- Bdapting
- Caterials
- Darners
- Eectives
- Fnguage
- Grsonality
- Hyle
9Materials production: (Tomlinson 2008b) the language experience needs to be contextualised and comprehensible, the learner needs to be motivated, relaxed, positive and engaged.
- ATrue
- BFalse
10The roles of new technologies in language-learning materials
- AThey are difficult to use because students do not understand them
- BCollaborative problem solving activities inside and outside the classroom
- CCan be used as a free source of a variety of authentic texts
- DFacilitate learning and reading by making hidden information available
