Unit 14 covered Coursebooks and Lesson Materials; Advantages and Disadvantages of coursebooks were discussed. I found the section on How to Analyze a Coursebook especially helpful. The unit also discussedthe use of authentic and created materials. Authentic materials, while more interesting and reality-based, are not designed for EFL students, nor are they graded for a particular level. Created materials, while more time consuming, can be tailored to the specific needs of your students. The Unit gave at least 3 online sites that can be accessed to create your own materials for your classroom: bogglesworldesl.com; puzzlemaker.com; and teachingenglish.org. In completing the Unit 14 test I found that it's time for me to review the Boomerang ESA Lesson Plan -- it was not clear to me how \"deep\" or challenging a First Activate phase should be. I'll be interested to see the correct answers for questions 8 through 12.
