THIS CHAPTER FOCUSES ON MATERIALS, COURSE BOOKS AND AIDS TEACHING. IN ORDER TO TEACH, WE NEED OF WIPE BOARD, VISUAL AIDS, WORKSHEETS, CASSETTE/ CD/ DVD/, VIDEO, DICTIONARIES, COURSE BOOKS, RESOURCE BOOK, PHOTOCOPIER/ COMPUTER/ OHP. VERY USEFUL IS ALSO THE USAGE OF COLORS WHILE USING THE BOARD SO THAT WE CAN DISTINGUISH DIFFERENT AREA AND TYPE OF INFORMATION.IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PUT INSIDE THE VERY ESSENTIAL INFORMATION NEEDED BY THE STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE THE TENDENCY TO COPY EVERY THING DOWN. VISUAL AIDS ARE REALIA, PHOTOS AND PICTURES, MODEL. THEY ARE VERY USEFUL IN ORDER TO REDUCE TTT, THEY ADD VARIETY AND INTEREST TO THE LESSON, INCREASE MEMORY, STIMULATE DISCUSSION AND ELICIT LANGUAGE. WORKSHEETS AND WORK CARDS ARE VERY USEFUL TO BECAUSE THEY CAN ACT AS A PROMPT TO INTRODUCE AN ACTIVITY. DICTIONARIES ARE USEFUL FOR SPELLING, MEANING AND PRONUNCIATION BUT IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BE NO OVERUSED. RESOURCE BOOKS ARE COMPOSED BY STUDENT BOOK (INFORMATION FOR THE TEACHING POINT), WORK BOOK (ACTIVITIES FOR THE STUDENT PHASE) AND TEACHER RESOURCE BOOK (ACTIVITIES FOR THE ACTIVATE PHASE). THE USAGE OF RESOURCE BOOKS HAS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES, SO PAY ATTENTION TO GAIN THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN BOOKS AND CREATIVE OR MORE MATERIALS IN ORDER TO CUSTOMIZE THE LESSON TO THE CLASS AS BETTER AS POSSIBLE.
