Unit 14: Coursebooks and lesson materials outlined the advantages and disadvantages or using coursebooks and other materials. There needs to be a balance between the use of authentic and created materials. Authentic materials are any thing that the native English speaker encounters in the day by reading and listening, they can help students gain confidence in using English in real life situations. Created materials are made by the teacher to illustrate the language point to the students at their own language level. Coursebook use has it's pros and cons, they are very helpful for new teachers but can't be relied on for the entire lesson all the time, the teacher needs to know when to omit, replace, supplement, and adapt the material to be of best use and interest to their particular class of students.
