This unit discussed the pros and cons of coursebooks and other materials. A lot of the ideas introduced in this language were things I have experienced in my classroom using a coursebook. I was reminded how important it is to not rely on the book solely and become lazy in my planning. It is important to stick to the book enough that students feel that it was worth purchasing, but it is just as important to add up-to-date and relevant activities when it would benefit their learning process. Wisdom in these areas probably comes from experience over time using course books and developing a keen insight into which activities are useful and which should be omitted.
