The fundamental principles of materials development in TESOL.
Materials are at the very centre of language teaching, and
understanding what goes into creating them is an essential part of
a language teacher's professional development. Offering a practical
introduction to the fundamental principles of materials development
in TESOL, this textbook introduces you to a wide range of
theoretical and practical issues in materials development to enable
you to make informed and principled choices in the selection,
evaluation, adaptation and production of materials. Advocating a
principled approach to the creation of materials, it combines an
awareness of relevant language learning and teaching theory with a
critical attitude to existing published materials. It also
encourages critical reflection by demonstrating how choices need to
be informed by an awareness of culture, context and purpose.
Material Development in TESOL's stimulating approach, with thought
provoking, interactive tasks, online resources, and added
perspectives from international research, makes it an ideal
textbook for language teacher programmes around the world,
equipping TESOL student teachers and practicing teachers with the
frameworks, resources and practical skills necessary to carry out
effective evaluations and to develop principled materials in
practice. It is written specifically for TESOL practitioners and
those studying TESOL teaching; accessible presentation of concepts
and research; accompanying website provides additional online
resources and materials; interactive tasks and further reading
suggestions and encourages students to critically reflect on their
choices of materials.
