This unit covers course materials and workbooks. First, "authentic materials" and "created materials" are presented. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Authentic materials, such as newspaper clippings or menus, can be real and interesting, while created materials can be geared to the specific requirements of the class, taking into account the student level and interests. Many useful examples are presented throughout the written part of the unit and in the video. Coursebook advantages and disadvantages are covered in quite some depth. The section on getting the best out of a coursebook is useful, as are the considerations to be taken when selecting and analysing a coursebook. Concerning the test, I am feel that Question 3 needs furthher definition or rewording as there would seem to be two reasonable answers: 2 and 4. It is not necessarily the case that the created material is topical (my selection nevertheless), although the use of the term "adapt" in answer 4 might suggest this is directed to non-created materials. Nevertheless, created materials can be adapted.
