More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Teaching materials play a crucial role in teaching-learning. When these take the form of a textbook it is essential that the textbook be carefully selected to meet both external requirements and the needs of the teachers. It is also important that teachers be able to mediate between the textbook and the learners, adapting and supplementing the book as necessary. Materials Evaluation and Design for Language Teaching provides a systematic approach to the selection and subsequent evaluation of textbooks and practical advice on their adaptation and supplementation. But it goes beyond this. For teachers who prefer to prepare their own materials rather than basing their teaching on a book there are suggestions on systematising the process of materials development and on the use of learner-generated materials.Key features include the following: * integrated and wide-ranging coverage of the topic, including reference to the use of concordances and the internet * numerous examples * interleaved tasks which can be utilised by an instructor * extensive bibliography The book will be of particular value to practising teachers following a modular Masters course or involved in some other form of professional development, whether organised or self-directed.

This is a definite must for professionals in ELT as it gives real insight into how materials are designed and how they should be designed. It's also invaluable when it comes time to choose materials.
