Materials Development in Language Teaching

Cambridge Language Teaching Library

by Brian Tomlinson (Editor)

Materials Development in Language Teaching aims to help readers apply current theoretical principles and research findings to the practical realities of developing and exploiting classroom materials. The authors also suggest new ideas and directions in materials development, which readers can pursue for themselves. This book is accessible to readers with little previous experience in the field, and is essential reading for all those involved in developing materials for language teaching. In the second edition of this highly popular title, each chapter has been comprehensively revised and updated to take into account both recent research and the significant technological developments since the first edition was published in 1998. Two new chapters have been added to assess the potential of electronic media for materials development. These chapters include an overview of the technologies available, as well as individual case studies and activities.

Self-learned at its finest. I had 2 assignments required me read this book thoroughly, one is visualize which I successfully used my creative mind and the other is portfolio where I was in charge of writing reflection. The book will recall the time where I'm truly immersed myself with studying at university and gained some personal growth by it.

I used two of the chapters in particular: Ch8 and 9 in my Syllabus and Materials M.A. essay.

Some of the other chapters are interesting to me as well, and I might take a look in the future.
