This unit discussed the importance of and usage of course materials. Course materials include a classroom book, a take home book for students (homework and private exercises), and a guidebook for teachers. Course materials can be incredibly useful in a classroom - the materials are tired and tested, the language is tailored to certain levels, and it can be highly useful to inexperienced teachers as it guides them through the lessons. Although useful, there are certain disadvantages to course materials.
Often times, course materials are out of date and therefore not all that interesting to students. Strictly using course materials becomes monotonous and boring to students as well as making teachers lazy. To avoid this, teachers can supplement course book material with additional, more interesting material. By thoroughly analyzing materials, teachers can decide whether to omit certain sections, replace information, or adapt the material in their own creative way.
By incorporating course material, games, and authentic material, teachers can ensure a creative classroom atmosphere that engages students.
