This unit talks about coursebooks and lesson materials. Materials can be divided into 2 groups: Authentic materials, any kind of material that could be heard or read by a native speaker in a regular situation (newspapers, songs, tv shows, magazines, menus, etc.) and Created materials, that are designed by the teacher to replace or supplement materials from a course book (crosswords, role-play cards, gap fill activities, etc.). About course books, they are widely used by teachers and students and have advantages (such as providing a syllabus and continuous progression) and disadvantages (such as not always fitting specific student´s needs, making lessons too rigid and being out of date in some cases). It is important to analize if a course book could be really useful for your students.
