Description
This module examines critically the theoretical orientations which underpin print and non-print language teaching materials designed for a range of contexts, as well as provides students with opportunities to engage in materials development themselves. Students consider the circumstances in which materials design takes place and the criteria for the selection, creation and sequencing of texts and tasks, and explore the processes of production and adaptation of materials. 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 experience the process of materials development themselves. These understandings and experiences should provide the foundations for materials evaluation, design and development in the participants' future professional lives.
