This lesson discusses course books and lesson materials. Both authentic material and created martial can be helpful when designing lesson plans and utilizing materials. Authentic materials are pretty much anything a native speaker would typically hear but are not graded to the level of the students but they are real so they are more interesting to the students. When students understand them, they typically gain more confidence and therefore be geared specifically to the interests of the students. Created materials, such as crosswords, role play cars, picture stories, etc, can be graded to the students level and can directly cater to individual students needs through practicing specifics. The unit provides various examples of created materials and then moves on to discuss course books. There are various advantages and diadvantages to course books, but the best use of the books is to use them in tandem with the teachers lesson and to be flexible and to not over rely on the course books. One can either omit, replace, supplement, and/or adapt but it is necessary to analyze the course book.
