    The document discusses the role of materials in the English language classroom. It notes that while materials can help facilitate learning, overreliance on textbooks risks limiting creative and interactive teaching. An optimal balance must be found between structured materials and spontaneous classroom activities. The author argues that teachers should use materials to supplement and enhance their lessons, not replace thoughtful lesson planning tailored to students' needs.
