In this unit we were given a rundown of the advantages and disadvantages of using coursebooks and materials in class. We were given criteria to keep in mind for when and why to use authentic or created materials we as teachers find or create in preparation for a class, as well as the basic criteria to keep in mind if we have the luxury of selecting our own official coursebooks and supplementary materials. Finally we were also given an overview of the potential problems over reliance on official books may have, especially that these books may not be tailored to the nationality you are teaching to, who may have very specific problems with English depending on their mother tongue.
