A teacher has many tools to use while teaching which include (but are not limited to) course books, authentic materials, and created materials. Course books should be selected carefully with attention given to many factors such as price, skills, methodology, design, topics, availability, ancillary materials, and many others. Course books are useful in that they provide tried and true lessons, a variety of skills, give the students a feeling of progression and create a syllabus. However, course books are always a compromise, may not have material that is interesting to the students and may contribute to a teacher?s laziness. Teachers can help to overcome the downfalls of course books by omitting, replacing, supplementing and adapting the material to needs and interests of the students. Supplementing with authentic materials usually helps build confidence in real life context. Created materials can be graded to level and selected to maintain motivation while focusing on a language point.
