State of the Art in Materials
Development by Tomlinson
- Conclusions
- We are now much more aware of the principles
and procedures of Materials Development.
- Teachers are critical of
their course books
- The future of materials development: Materials will increasingly be
delivered electronically through computers and smartphones
- Research in Materials Development
- There is little research on
Materials Development
- It requires considerable investments of time
and money in highly controlled environments.
- There are many interesting projects on
materials development in India, Nambia,
Bulgaria, Romania and Congo
- Issues in Materials Development
- Coursebooks are used to save money and time
however coursebooks are not considered to be
sufficiently engaging or relevant for their actual users.
- Authentic materials provide meaningful exposure to language and
it is produced in order to communicate rather than to teach
- There are some topics that are very important in
materials development and in humanising materials
- Materials exploitation
- Huminise course and text books
- The use of materials depend on the different
teacher's pedagogical needs and goals
- Materials Production
- Materials must be framed in the context learning and
local criteria specific to the target learning context
- Materials Adapatation
- It is very important that teachers
adapt the materials to the context
in which they are using.
- It is necessary tha students have an active
participation in the adaptation process
- Materials evaluation
- There are many questions to evaluate materials, the
decision to implement some questions depend on the
evaluator's criteria and based on users of materials
- Current trends
- Nowadays, Materials Development focus on the
application of theory to practice and practice to theory
- Materials are anything that
can be used to facilitate the
learning of a language.
- Informative
- Experiancial
- Eliciting
- Instructional
