Unit 14: Course books and lesson materials When teaching, authentic materials, created materials, and coursebooks can be used as tools to help better Guide students. Coursebooks often come with a students book, workbook, cassettes, teachers book, and sometimes other teaching materials. Coursebooks can be advantageous because they are expected by the students, can save teacher's time, provide a syllabus, offer continuity, and are appealing to the eye since they usually contain lots of photos, and other visual aids. Some disadvantages are that they don't fit the specific needs of students, they can be predictable and boring, and they could cause the teacher to be lazy. The best use of a coursebook is as a part of the lesson, but not the entire lesson. Teachers should omit, replace, supplement, and adapt coursebooks to fit into the goals they have made for each lesson. A teacher should take the best parts of a coursebook, authentic material, and created material and be prepared to use all three for the most productive and motivating lesson. Price, availability, design, methodology, skills, difficulty, syllabus, topic, teacher's GUIDE are somethings to be considered when choosing a coursebook.
