UNIT 24 SELECTION AND USE OF COURSEBOOK MATERIALS

In Ecuador, we have different course books that are used in order to teach the target language. In the past people used to use a book who was not really didactic and it had many mistakes, but in the previous years, the course book has changed, now is better and students enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes the books don’t have the necessary teaching materials or they don’t’ get along with the students. A teacher has to adapt the book to the students´ needs and take into account that the culture and personalities of our students would be affected if we do not check the course book previously. In conclusion, the course book sometimes is up to the teacher but other times it is imposed by the authorities, besides that the teacher has to use realia and mime.
