3) Framing principles according to Hadfield (2014)


Hadfield’s (2014) over-arching principles include:

1. Material (texts and tasks) should be interesting, engaging, motivating and involving.

2. Language should be meaningful, natural and useful.

3. There should be careful progression with small steps, each leading to the next, and frequent
opportunities for review. PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES IN MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT19

4. The language syllabus should include functions dovetailed with grammar. It should be both
formulaic and rule-based. Lexis should be both theme-based and frequency-based, including
chunks as well as single words. Attention should be given to form and meaning. Learning should be
both explicit and implicit.

5. Receptive skills activities should involve detailed reading and listening and analysis, as well as
more global understanding. The skills syllabus should include a systematic teaching of micro-skills
as well as macro-skills (e.g., recognizing words in connected speech as well as understanding main
points). Skills should be integrated with each other and with language work. Extensive reading and
listening are important.

6. Productive skills activities should be communicative, meaningful and student-centred. Writing


activities should include process and genre-based approaches. Speaking activities should include a
specific speaking skills programme (e.g., turn-taking, turn beginning, etc).

7. Focus on form or grammar elucidation should actively involve the students and should involve
an inductive element, involving discovery and deep-processing, where possible.

8. Language practice activities should be communicative, meaningful and student-centred.


Activities should provide density of practice and include accuracy- based as well as fluency
activities.

9. Flexibility is important for both students and teachers to meet student needs and different
learning styles and to enable teachers to select and rearrange activities to meet these. To this end,
there should be both a variety of activities to suit different learning styles and a range of
supplementary activities that students or teachers can choose from

10. The syllabus should meet non-linguistic aims as well as linguistic ones, for example, the
building of a cohesive group dynamic, the teaching of learning strategies, the building of student
self-esteem and motivation.
