Materials
Development in TESOL is the first comprehensive course in materials development
in this steadily expanding field. Its core premise is that as materials are at
the centre of language teaching, an understanding of what goes into creating them
is an essential part of language teachers' professional development. The book
advocates a principled approach to the creation of materials, combining a
critical awareness of relevant language learning and teaching theory with a
critical attitude to existing published materials. The book’s stimulating
approach, with thought-provoking, interactive tasks, online resources, and
added perspectives from a diversity of research in the field from across the
globe, makes it an ideal textbook for use in the language teacher education
programmes in international contexts.
