In this lesson I have learnes that there are two types of materials: authentic (not designed for EFL students, not graded by level, real, interesting)and non-authentic (designed by the teacher, crossword, puzzles, role-play cards).
Most course books come in a packet: student's books, workbooks, teacher's book, media, reading leveled books, dictionaries, etc.
There are advantages and disadvantages when using course books. Advantages: student´s expect them, they are leveled, they follow a syllabus, they provide a balanced mix of activities, they are attractive, they provide new ideas for new teachers. Disadvantages: They may become pradictable and boring, the teacher might become lazy, they dictate what hast to be taught, they not always fit specific needs).
When using a couse book, the teacher can omit, replace, supplement and adapt some the materials provided there.
To choose a course book, the teacher has to look at the price, availability, design, methodology, skills, difficulty, syllabus, auxiliary materials.
