Unit 14 itroduces us the practical usage, advantages and disadvantages of coursebook and material, using by teacher throughout the lesson. To make preparations easier and better, theacher should be creative, because there are no ideal and totally suitable course books or studying materials in every classrom for every group of learners. Moreover, it's better to know the language level of all students to prepare interesting materials (which could be authentic or created, or combinated). Students usually find created materials (crosswords, word searching, flash cards etc.) quite enganging, altgough they really want to use their knowledge of \"natural language\". This is how authentic materials come - newspapers, menu, magazine. Fery often teacher should be creative and add some new materials to course book since it is strict and inflexible to students' level and interests. It might have advanages,too. Attractiveness riched by desighn, balance of grammar, vocabulary and skill works. On the other hand, constant using of a course book might make teacher lazy and provides a lack of creativity. Due to this unit, I've learnt one of the best ways to overcome those typical obstacles.
