  • When thinking or writing about electronic materials it helps to distinguish between CALL materials, web sources of language experience, and ICT applications which can be made use of both to deliver materials and to facilitate interaction

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…´´

Answer
  • confidence, principled creativity
  • Money and budget

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’
Answer
  • localised
