Materials Development in Language Teaching

Cambridge Language Teaching Library

by Brian Tomlinson (Editor)

This volume consists of fifteen articles on current issues in developing materials for language teaching. The main objectives are to help readers to apply current theoretical principles and research findings to the practical realities of developing and/or exploiting classroom materials and to offer new ideas and directions in materials design that readers can pursue for themselves. The chapters are grouped into the following five themes: - Research and materials development; - Data collection and materials development; - Methodology and materials development; - Teachers and materials development; - Evaluation of materials. The contributors are all well known in the fields of applied linguistics and language teaching for their publications on language teaching methodology and many have additionally published language teaching materials for students and teachers.

Self-learned at its finest. I had 2 assignments required me read this book thoroughly, one is visualize which I successfully used my creative mind and the other is portfolio where I was in charge of writing reflection. The book will recall the time where I'm truly immersed myself with studying at university and gained some personal growth by it.

I used two of the chapters in particular: Ch8 and 9 in my Syllabus and Materials M.A. essay.

Some of the other chapters are interesting to me as well, and I might take a look in the future.
