´´When thinking or writing about electronic materials it helps to distinguish between CALL
materials i.e. ELT materials available from [blank_start]websites[blank_end], computer software, courseware and [blank_start]onlinecourses[blank_end], web sources of language experience e.g. [blank_start]Google, YouTube, Facebook[blank_end] and ICT
applications which can be made use of both to deliver materials and to facilitate interaction e.g. [blank_start]mobile phones[blank_end].´´
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Regarding pedagogic approaches used through the years for material development, the reading argues that:
“In the sixties and early seventies they stressed they were teaching the language directly, without the use of [blank_start]translation[blank_end] or [blank_start]explanation[blank_end]: in the seventies they boasted that they were following a [blank_start]communicative approach[blank_end] which featured either the learning of functions or notions, or both. Subsequently, they have claimed to be following natural approaches based on topics, themes or tasks and many coursebooks nowadays stress that their syllabus is based on the ‘can do’ statements of the Common European Framework…´´
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
According to Tomilson and its opinion about the need of published material, he sets:
..."My position is that most teachers and students welcome published materials and can
gain from them. However, if a teacher has [blank_start]confidence, principled creativity[blank_end] and the respect
of their learners, then a textbook-free course can actually be more facilitative in providing
the [blank_start]personalised, relevant and engaging[blank_end] experience of language in use and opportunities
for observing how the language is used and for meaningful [blank_start]communication[blank_end], which many
textbook authors find it difficult to provide."

Amrani 2011 reports:
I would like to see more [blank_start]localised[blank_end] textbooks and more [blank_start]global textbooks[blank_end] which are designed to be [blank_start]flexible[blank_end] and to
offer teachers and students opportunities for localisation, personalisation and choice. In
addition, publishers could produce web-based global ‘coursebooks’ which offer opportunities
for [blank_start]choice[blank_end], [blank_start]modification[blank_end] and replacement and which facilitate ‘an ongoing process where
materials are refined and even changed throughout the life of a product’
