| .‘Materials development’ refers to all the processes made use of by practitioners who produce and/or use materials for language learning, including materials evaluation, adaptation, design, production, exploitation and research. | |
| Conclusions about the comparison of the 8 coursbooks | The neglect of literature as a source of potentially engaging texts, the lack of intelligent content at lower levels, the neglect of extensive reading and listening, and ‘the scarcity of real tasks which have an intended outcome other than just the practice of language forms’ |
| Materials are cultural artifacts, no less rooted in a particular time and culture than any other instance of human activity, and, as such, are shaped by the context in which they occur. | |

All over the world, it has been seen many unexpected ways of using a textbook but not many publications reporting a classroom reality of teachers doing it their own way. There is some literature reporting how teachers use their textbooks as resources rather than as scripts. |
| Proponents of the coursebook argue that it is a cost-effective way of providing the learner with security, system, progress and revision, whilst at the same time saving precious time and offering teachers the resources they need to base their lessons on. It also helps administrators to achieve course credibility, timetabled lessons, and standardize teaching. | |
| Opponents of coursebooks argue that they can disempower both teacher and learners, cannot cater for the needs and wants of their actual users, are used mainly to impose control and order (e.g. ‘OK, class, turn to page 46 of your textbook’ | |
| The 1970s to the mid-1980s ‘me decade’ was the recognition that learners have their own unique ways of approaching language study, that is, their own styles and strategies. Naiman et al.’s landmark “The Good Language Learner” study (1978) seemed to take up the decade’s sentiment in showing how language learning was a person-centered activity, thereby kick-starting a major new strand of materials development: learner training. | |
| Social moves towards greater democratization and a more popular (in the sense of ‘of the people’) recognition of cultures, gave birth to an entire rethink of what English language teaching should be about: the Communicative Language Teaching movement. | |
| The case with materials that are produced in a commercial context, where the need to maximize sales, satisfy shareholders, and achieve corporate goals may have a direct impact on the design of materials, quite distinct from their pedagogic intent. | |
| McDonald’s: Hamburger chain, is characterized by an emphasis on efficiency and total predictability, to reach this, McDonald’s insists ina a large number of strict policies that include: fixed work routines for their employees, sequences and language commands to use with their customers to generate a better (and totally predictable) McDonald’s experience for all their customers |
