There is a wide range of course books and materials teachers can use when teaching an English lesson. Wipe boards, visual aids, worksheets, video, dictionaries, and computers are some of the resources that can be used. Among the teaching materials, we have those that are called authentic and created materials. Authentic, are the ones that are not designed for EFL students, rather for native speakers, such as magazines, newspapers, songs, poems, and brochures. Created materials are the ones designed by the teachers to replace or supplement materials from a textbook. Although materials and textbooks offer great advantages to the teachers, they also present a series of disadvantages. Some of the disadvantages are: - It doesn't always fit the interest of all the class members. - It is always a compromise - Can be boring and predictable for the students I believe materials and course books are a great help for the teacher and the benefits of using them offset the disadvantages.
