Hello,
I would like to talk about books and materials I have learned in this unit with you.
Course books are a very emotive issue for teachers. Some teachers like to use them, while other teachers despise them. Most students like created materials by teacher instead of course books material. Course book has some advantages and some disadvantages.
Course book advantages: it's usually expected by students, It provides a balanced mix of gramer,
It has vocabulary and skills work, it's easier to have on your hand, it offers continuity. it's good for un experience teacher.
Course book disadvantages: Student may not like it, it's not for specific needs, it can be boring, course books dictate, it can make teacher lazy, course books are design by one nation.
Authentic materials: Just about anything that native speaker would hear or read as programs, magazines, newspaper, songs, video,film.
Created materials: These are usually design by the teacher to replace or supplement materials from the course book as cross words, flash card, gap fill activities ,picture, and stories.
Good teacher will know what to use for the students by analyzing everything because of experience. It's always good to use what is best for the class.
Regards,
Evliya
