Unit 14 provides valuable advices and tips about what kind of books and materials would be suitable for teaching students, taking into account particular levels of students and their needs. Along with examining advantages and disadvantages of authentic materials versus those created by the teacher, as well as looking at pros and cons of course books provided for students and teachers (normally in all schools/course centers), this unit also gives examples of created materials that teachers can use in the classroom. Based on such (including websites sources the unit offers) we as teachers can create our own materials being keen to our students’ interests and language needs.
I find the guidelines for Analyzing books and advices regarding use of authentic/created materials to be very useful and helpful in terms of adapting, supplementing and adjusting materials to the particular classes and levels, language points being taught/learned and objectives for the students to achieve.
In my opinion, no lesson would be as effective, fulfilling and interesting if conducted without additional materials, as when we bring into class supportive sources and secondary means to enrich the whole lesson program and equip the students with a better result.
