the introduction to [blank_start]English Access Teacher’s Resource 1[blank_end]says that the pedagogic framework ‘begins with the [blank_start]receptive skills[blank_end] to tap students’ prior knowledge and to trigger connections with their world view. The teacher then supports and provides [blank_start]scaffolding[blank_end] for the students to put their [blank_start]productive skills[blank_end] to use, working slowly in groups towards independent work’
There have also been a number of studies of [blank_start]teacher attitudes[blank_end] towards their coursebooks which suggest that how they use their [blank_start]coursebook[blank_end] depends both on their experience and their view of the coursebook’s value in their [blank_start]teaching context[blank_end].
Tomlinson in 2003 differentiates between universal and local criteria, the former being those that can be used to evaluate materials for any learner anywhere.
Tomlinson & Nunan in 2004 aimed ‘to help teachers to follow learning approaches upon their colleagues' practices and identify mistakes and problems for materials adaptation'
[blank_start]Teachers[blank_end] also seem to be more constructively critical of their coursebooks and to be more willing, confident and able to localise and personalise their [blank_start]coursebooks[blank_end] for their learners. This is especially so in regions where teachers have been trained as materials developers, either on teacher [blank_start]development[blank_end] courses or on national or institutional materials development [blank_start]projects[blank_end].
[blank_start]Tomlinson[blank_end] said the following quotte: "What I know is that teachers will continue to develop [blank_start]positively[blank_end] as a result of their involvement in materials development, whether as course [blank_start]participants[blank_end], members of project teams or adapters of materials in their [blank_start]classrooms[blank_end]."
