The focus of unit 14 is choosing course books and lesson materials for class. This is very important because you want to make sure you use both authentic materials and created materials in the classroom, the materials are the right language level for your students and that your students are interested and engaged in the learning material. I learned that course books can be great to use in the classroom but you shouldn't plan all of your lessons around it. It is good to be creative and supplement lessons with things that will further your students' understanding and also find topics and activities that you know your students will like. I think if teachers are allowed to select their course books for their students, the course books will have more advantages than disadvantages. Course books provide a balanced mix of grammar, vocabulary and skills work. provide a syllabus which is graded to a level suitable for the students, offers many good ideas to teachers and continually practices language items previously introduced. However students may get tired of only using a course book in the classroom and it may not fit the specific needs and interests of all the class member. This is why it's important to have a good mixture of using a course book, authentic materials and also created materials in the classroom. The variety will keep things interesting and students will learn the most this way.
