In Unit 9 we read about course books and lesson materials. It's very interesting to understand the different types of materials and how much impact it has on the lesson and class. We learn about the differences between authentic and created materials, and how the two can be used. Authentic materials are good for more uptodate and relevant topics, it's most of the times more interesting and motivating for the students and they gain a certain confidence, when they understand them. Created materials in the other hand can be used to focus the level to the specific group of students and target the topics to their specific interests.
We get to know about how we should use course books, sometimes omit some parts, sometimes replace, supplement and adapt. It's important to not just go by the book and analyze the material before use, to insure it fits the group of students, their level, and needs.
