I think this unit does a great job outlining what a good relationship should be between the teacher and the textbook should be. The textbook should be a supplementary item to the class but should not be the only item used for the lessons. I like all of the creative ideas that teachers can add to make the lessons more effective such as adding authentic materials and creating new materials for lesson use. I think that the textbook should be used initially to introduce new grammar and examples and as a reference for students if they feel they need a refresher or review. I think it is important to take into account that many textbooks are very general and might not be tailored to specific groups of leaners who speak a different language. For example, when I learned a foreign language (Japanese) at my university, my teacher was well aware of the common mistakes that speakers of English, Chinese and Korean typically make when learning Japanese because of the way that their own languages operate.
