Materials Development For Language Teaching

Course Code:MMALIE_08

This module examines critically the theoretical orientations which underpin print and non-print language teaching materials designed for a range of contexts. It explores the processes of production and adaptation of materials. The circumstances in which materials design takes place and the criteria for the selection, creation and sequencing of texts and tasks are considered. There will be group and individual opportunities for evaluating, adapting and creating materials, and for discussing the process and products of these tasks. The aim is that participants should demonstrate a critical understanding of the key principles addressed during the module, and that these assessments should provide the foundations for materials evaluation, design and development in the participants' future professional lives.

This module is also offered online in the Summer term.
