Abstract:
Teaching Materials and the Roles of EFL/ESL Teachers is published amidst a
decade long increase in academic publications and training courses concerned
with the evaluation and design of English language teaching materials. It is
timely to consider what effect the advice on offer has had on teachers’
practice. Are teachers evaluating materials carefully, using textbooks in the
ways expected by textbook writers, developing their own materials, and
mediating between materials and learners in the ways advised in the
professional literature?
The book explores these issues from a variety of perspectives. The views of
publishers/textbook writers, those contributing to the professional
literature, and teacher educators are synthesised to establish a ‘theory’ of
how teachers can best fulfil their roles vis-à-vis materials and learners.
This is then compared with ‘practice’, as represented by published accounts of
teachers’ actual practices and learners’ perspectives. The conclusion reached
is that teacher education in materials evaluation and design is essential and
suggestions are offered as to the form this might take.
The book is intended particularly for MA students and teacher educators
concerned with materials evaluation and design, but is of interest to all
those concerned with the publication and use of English language teaching
materials.
