SELECTION AND USE OF COURSEBOOK MATERIALS

           Planning a class is always required the use of the coursebook materials. It helps teachers to present the language and make the learners to practice it. In that way they will develop the language skills and to allow them to have a good communicate process. Also, the selections of a coursebook take a really important role in the teaching process because it will shape the content for teaching and it will facilitate the learning to learners.  

            On the other hand, teacher has to keep in mind that the selection of the coursebook has to be followed by the teaching program in which teachers have to fit their personal methodology. Besides that, teachers can use supplementary materials that have to base on learner level, leaner’s needs, and their level of English and so on.  

            In conclusion, I might say that the selection of coursebook materials is essential for the teaching process. Coursebook materials are important aspects of the curriculum of any institution.  It is part of teacher´s methodology. Also, we have to keep in mind that those materials are suitable for learner´s needs and specially designed for them. As future teacher I consider that it would be very helpful in order to improve the teaching proves and provides the students a quality of education.
