Sinopsis

Teaching materials play a crucial role in teaching-learning. When these take the form of a textbook it is essential that it is carefully selected to meet both external requirements and the needs of the teachers, as well as allowing teacher to mediate between the textbook and the learners, adapting and supplementing the book as necessary. Providing a systematic approach to the selection and subsequent evaluation of coursebooks, this textbook gives practical advice on adaptation and supplementation, and beyond. Suggestions on systematising the process of materials development and on the use of learner-generated materials are included for teachers who prefer to prepare their own materials.With integrated and wide-ranging coverage of the topic, this is the ideal book for those studying or practising language teaching or applied linguistics. Key Features* Numerous examples * Interleaved tasks which can be utilised by an instructor* Extensive bibliography

Praise for the first edition:‘…a near-comprehensive coverage of the issues in materials design and evaluation from a unitary point of view … a goldmine of discussion topics for MA and teacher training courses’Alan Maley, ELT Journal (2004)Since the first edition of this book was published in 2002 there have been many changes in language teaching, not least those associated with technological developments. Despite such changes, the same basic needs remain as far as teacher education is concerned. Teachers still need advice on how to:•evaluate coursebooks and other core materials systematically•source and evaluate other materials•adapt materials•design their own materialsMaterials Evaluation and Design for Language Teaching provides this – offering a systematic approach to the selection and subsequent evaluation of textbooks and practical advice on their adaptation and supplementation.
