This unit helped me to weigh up the pros and cons of using course books vs authentic materials. I think using a quality course book would instill confidence in me, especially when just starting my teaching journey, however I would definitely adapt lessons to suit my students. I think games, and fun worksheets, puzzles and role plays using authentic materials would capture the students imaginations and interest in the English language. Using authentic materials helps to keep the teacher focused on student's specific challenges, and can be adapted to their needs. Using a course book can give them confidence, structure, and clear goals to work toward. In my opinion using a course book with additional authentic materials would work the best, as long as the course book was attractive, interesting looking and up to date, so that the students would be motivated to learn. If the course boo available didn't suit the students, I would move to authentic materials, creating my own lesson plans.
