Selection and use of coursebook materials – UNIT 24





What I learned about this unit was that coursebook materials are materials that teachers use in a class and it is useful for them and students since those will help them to present an active class and to make students practice their language skills in an interesting way.

It is really important to bear in mind the fact that a coursebook includes a student’s book, a teacher’s book and audio scripts or videos that will be part of the class. Moreover, with a a coursebook teachers will manage the class in an organised and interactive way and students will get interested on the topic of the lesson or in the class since it will be more participative.

In addition, the selection of these materials are based on students’ needs and interests by using questionnaires or diagnostic tests  in order to classify information that will help the teacher to have a description of all the learners of his or her class, this is called class profile.

Finally, I will apply the knowledge gained about this unit at the moment of preparing materials for my students because it is really necessary to take into consideration their needs in order to make the class more interesting and engaging.

  1. The reflections I read were good but you need to put some clear examples in order to demonstrate your understanding about the TKT topics.
