How to look after your tools:

A central tools: The coursebook

As the syllabus and test material, methodology, task guide and visual and auditory aid or as a
supplement to our own syllabus and ideas.

Advantages of using a coursebook

- A good coursebook can give a sense of clarity, direction, and progress to a student.
- It can save a teacher from wondering what to teach, how to teach it, and with what
materials.
- Written by experienced teachers can provide a balanced syllabus and ready-made
materials in a reasonably cheap, portable form that teachers and students can use alone
or in class.
- It contributes to learner independence as the learner can use it to review, look ahead
and learn on their own.

Disadvantages of using a coursebook

- They can be filled with cardboard characters and situations that are not relevant
or interesting to your learners.
- Often a coursebook is only a partial fit for the students or teacher.
- The worst case of course is a complete lack of fit between the book and you and
your class. This coursebook would be different in level, density, unit length,
layout, and content from what you and your students like.
- The methodology and underlining principles are alien to you. You have to
winnow each page carefully to glean anything useful.
- There are very few materials provided and the teacher has to really struggle to
make the book work.

Using the whole coursebook: The stimulus-based approach

The stimulus-based approach involves using the whole coursebook as a stimulus for communication
and language practice.

Reflection for Group 4

The explanation was quite detailed. But, they did not give all the points they discussed and
elaborated one by one on the slide completely so that I could not fully understand. They explained
the material in the long run but I did not get some point of their discussion.
