In this chapter i learned that there are many resources to use to plan your lessons, and not to solely depend on the course book for material. There are many benefits to having or using a course book with your students, e.g easier than designing a syllabus from scratch, it's graded to suit students level, balanced mix of grammar, vocabulary and skills work and continuity - to mention a few.
Disadvantages e.g are; it doesnt always fir the specific needs of ALL the class members, can be predictable and boring, makes teachers lazy and over reliant on it for activities, is nationality general so it doesnt address specific nationality issues and finally it usually dictates what is to be taught, this can make teachers stop analyzing particular problems students might face making it less student centered (no customization).
A good teacher uses suitable lessons from the book but also supplements, omits, replaces, and adapts his classes with both authentic and created materials.
