From unit 9 Course books and lesson materials, I learnt that materials can be divided into two groups they are authentic and created materials. Some exam0les of authentic materials are magazines, films, songs and programs while some examples of created materials would be crossword, puzzles, flashcards, gap fill etc. Authentic materials cannot be graded to the level of the students but created materials can. I also learnt that course books are set materials such as students book, workbook, teachers book. Some advantage of the course book is that it's ecxpected by the students, the teachers book offer many good ideas for inexperience teachers and it offers continuity and progression. Some of the disadvantage includes it can dictate what is to be taught, can be predictable and makes teachers lazy. Some best use of the course book is that you should not use the course book for the whole lesson and do not base the entire lesson around the textbook. Four different option for course book use are: omit, replace, supplement, and adapt. Furthermore, when analyzing a course book take into consideration the price, the availability,design, methodology and so on.
