COMMENTS
The teacher explained that the use of the coursebook depend mainly on
the use that it receive, if the teacher utilizes it in a good way he/she can
have good results in terms of teaching/learning. Also, the teacher
explained that a teacher can take many activities of it, because most of
these are good and it can be used as a guide in the class. So he/she
allows the use of coursebooks.
The teacher elections of the activities are very accurate, because he/she
prefers activities related to the speaking ability and then immediately
activities related to listening, those skills are very connected because
their use reinforce each other and allow a good complementation in the
process of learning a language. The same with reading and writing which
are his/her second option.
For the teacher the writing part implies too much time implementing in
a class and the learning process to apply it would be slow.
For teaching lexis (vocabulary) the teacher said that the coursebooks are
good, because it brings the words that the students should know by the
end of the lesson, but there is missing something, it could be better if it
brings the definition and the part of the speech in the list of words that it
has. It is really true, because according with the coursebook that we
analized the list of words are normally at the end but there is nothing
else, just the words, and if we do not know the definition we have to use
another resource, but as the teacher said nowadays it is not a problem
because the students can use their cell phone or their computers, it is to
find a solution for grammar.
For the teacher teach the skills of the language depends mainly on the
criteria of every teacher and their style, every teacher adapts the
content of the coursebook and teachs it in the most comfortable way for
them.
