In this unit, I learnt about Books and Materials. They are internal and external resources used by teachers and students to aid teaching and learning. Materials are divided into two groups; Authentic and created materials. Authentic materials are just about anything a native speaker would hear or read examples are; magazines, songs, poems, newspaper, brochures, menus and films while created materials are usually designed by the teacher to replace or supplement materials from a course book, examples are; crosswords, word search puzzles, flashcards, gap fill activities, picture stories and role-play cards.
Course books are usually set of materials including; student’s book, workbook, cassettes, teacher’s book, videos and published materials. It has advantages and disadvantages and a good teacher should know the best way to use it by knowing when to omit, replace, supplement and adapt to areas of the course materials which might be difficult or uninteresting to students.
