The coursebook is a universal book: it does not and cannot take into consideration the specific needs of your learners. It is a one-size-fits-all approach: every single upper-intermediate learner hasn't yet mastered the Present Perfect, right? The lessons are never ready-to-going, you have to redesign the pages so that the lesson is effective. Due to the nature of mass publishing, a coursebook cannot take into consideration the needs of your individual learners and groups. Created materials play an important role especially to replace supplement material from the coursebook. While in many cases a book may work perfectly well without the need for much adaptation, in some cases different levels of adaptation may be needed. Through the process of adaptation, the teacher personalizes the text, making it a better teaching resource, and individualizes it for a particular group of learners.
