Adapting and developing English language teaching/learning materials
Corresponding author:Abstract
Although English teaching/learning materials are abundant and more and more learner-centred, materials-in-use need a teacher’s careful consideration to effectively facilitate learning. Teachers can exploit the availability of English language resources by taking serious principles of selecting and adapting predetermined coursebooks, the result of which leads to the development of learning materials appropriate to particular of types of learner. Ideally, this process entails useful information for professional materials developers and publishers who will then create innovation in materials for the better use.
