In this unit we talk about different materials and adventages and disadventages of introducing coursebooks to our lesson. There are two different types of materials: Authentic material: such as newspaper, magazines etc. They can be selected to get the interest of our students. Using authentic material can also gain the confidene of the students once they mastered the text. Created material: such as crosswords, roleplay etc. Using coursebooks has some advantages and disadvantages aswell. Most important is that the teacher not fully relay on the book. As that makes the hours predictable and the teacher less creative.
