Choosing a-coursebookADRIANA BECKER

The document discusses important factors to consider when choosing a coursebook for teaching English. It explains that the coursebook is one of the few choices teachers have control over. An effective coursebook caters to both the teachers' and students' needs. For teachers, a good coursebook provides structure, materials, ideas and time savings. For students, it offers progression, independence, review and engagement. However, no single coursebook will perfectly suit every teacher and class, so compromises must be made. Teachers should supplement materials as needed and see the coursebook as a partner rather than something that dictates their entire lesson plans.Lesson Plan Structure
Lesson Plan StructureTelling America's Story (TAH)

The lesson plan structure outlines the key components of an effective lesson including the teaching point, purpose, materials, model/demonstration, guided practice, independent exploration, differentiation, share/closure, assessment, and next steps. Teachers first establish the concept being taught, relate it to prior learning, and use materials to model and demonstrate. Students then practice with guidance before independently applying the new learning, while receiving feedback and differentiation as needed. Assessment and sharing inform future instruction and connections.Module1 ss

Learning can occur in any situation, but teaching requires planning. The key difference between learning and teaching is that teaching involves rigorous planning by the teacher. Effective lesson planning is important for classroom management and student engagement. When planning lessons, teachers should consider individual differences among students like age, gender, proficiency level, learning styles, personality traits and cultural backgrounds. Lesson plans need to incorporate different learning styles like visual, auditory and kinesthetic to meet the needs of diverse students. Proper planning allows teachers to design meaningful lessons instead of relying solely on workbooks.Material selection1

Coursebook materials include student books, teacher books, audio/video recordings, and workbooks used to present and practice language skills in the classroom. Teachers select materials based on a needs analysis of learners' levels, interests, and language needs. When selecting materials, teachers consider whether the content is visually appealing, well-organized, culturally appropriate, at the right level, and motivating for learners. If existing materials do not meet these criteria, teachers can adapt them by extending, shortening, changing methodology or level, reordering content, or using supplementary resources.

- Textbooks play an important role in teaching and learning as one of the materials used by teachers and students, but they also have limitations.
- Advantages of textbooks include providing a framework for teachers, organizing units of work, and being a major source of language input for students apart from teachers. They offer detailed lesson plans and sequences.
- Disadvantages are that textbooks can be outdated, insufficiently cover topics, present unrealistic or idealized language and views of the world, and may not reflect students' interests. Teachers need to supplement textbooks with other materials.
- The most important element is the learner, so when textbooks present difficulties, teachers should assign other materials suited to their specific teaching situation.Material Development Journal 1

While textbooks provide core information, teachers should adapt content and delivery methods to engage students more deeply. The document provides examples of supplementing textbooks with creative materials like pictures, videos, games and real-world projects. These adaptations generate motivation and help students learn lessons that go beyond memorization to tackle issues they face.Classroom management through diversifying exercises and activities

Classroom management through diversifying exercises and activities involves using textbooks creatively and going beyond textbooks. Teachers have options for textbook use such as omitting, replacing, adding to, or adapting textbook lessons. Going beyond textbooks exposes students to a richer linguistic context, allows integration of language skills, and enhances student motivation. Effective ways to go beyond textbooks include ensuring materials are relevant to student needs and backgrounds, using authentic materials, and presenting materials in an interesting way. Flexibility is also important to continuously improve supplementary materials.Authentic Materials

This document discusses using authentic activities, tasks, and materials in the classroom. It defines authentic materials as anything not specifically produced for language teaching. Authentic tasks require approximating real-world behaviors. Benefits include motivation from meaningful content, increased confidence and skills from exposure. Challenges are time for preparation and grammar appearing unexpectedly. Classroom management is aided by stimulating interest and decreasing disruptions. Authenticity brings the real world into the classroom.Classroom management through diversifying exersices and activities

- 1. ADAPTING A TEXTBOOK Just as a piano does not play music, a textbook does not teach language. The textbook is a stimulus or instrument for teaching and learning.
- 2. Reflect about it! I plan my lessons to respond to my learners卒 needs, so I never use a textbook. I always plan my lessons following the suggestions in the teacher卒s book. I use all the materials in every unit in the order given in the book. I use a textbook, but I change most of it so that learners don卒t get bored. I have got a good textbook and have not got time to adapt any of it.
- 3. Advantages of Using a Textbook It provides: A syllabus for the course. Security for the students. Sets of visuals, activities, readings. Basis for assessing students learning. Consistency with a program across a given level. Supporting materials.
- 4. Disadvantages of Using a Textbook The content may not be relevant- right level There may be too much focus on specific aspects of language and not enough focus on others. It may not include everything. There may not be the right mix of activities. The sequence is lockstep. The material may go out of date. The timetible is unrealistic.
- 5. Starting Points Own experience, beliefs and undestandings Needs analysis- Class Profile Goals and objectives Context requirenments Adapt a textbook by: Changing, supplementing, eliminating and resequencing material.
- 6. Facets to Understanding How to Use a Textbook 1. The textbook itself: getting inside it- what are you adapting or supplementing. a. Conceptualizing content: language, learning and social context. b. Formulating goals and objectives c. Organizing the course 2. Everything other than the textbook: context, students, teacher-What are you adapting it to.
- 7. A Range of Choices with Respect to Adopting a Textbook The activity level: Change, supplement, eliminate material. The unit level: Change the order of the activities and adapt existing ones. The book/syllabus level: Change, add new areas or eliminate parts of the syllabus.
