A good coursebook can help teachers by providing structured content and materials to supplement their own teaching. However, no single coursebook will be perfect for every class, so teachers should evaluate their specific learners and objectives.

The document provides a checklist for teachers to use in selecting a coursebook best suited to their situation.

My textbook is boring!
This document discusses alternatives to using solely a textbook in beginning language classrooms. It suggests adapting, supplementing, or replacing textbooks with authentic materials, teacher-developed materials, and student-generated materials. Authentic materials expose students to real language but require selection and scaffolding. Teacher-developed materials are tailored to students but take time to create.

It discusses analyzing the physical layout, content, chapter summaries and supplementary materials, vocabulary, and addressing special learning needs.

Shared Inquiry Overview
This document provides an overview of the Junior Great Books program which focuses on developing critical thinking skills through shared inquiry discussion of literature. It explains that shared inquiry uses an interpretive question to spark discussion where multiple answers are valid if supported by evidence. It outlines preparing students with readings, notes, and individual reflection before the circular discussion led by follow up questions from the facilitator. The goal is for students to learn to interpret texts and consider different perspectives.
Extensive Reading
Extensive reading involves reading large amounts of material for general understanding rather than close analysis. It aims to promote reading as a habit and create positive attitudes toward reading. Extensive reading exposes students to different types of materials and genres to prepare them for more intensive reading. However, it faces challenges like limited book availability, lack of awareness of its importance, and engaging classroom activities. While often done outside of class, extensive reading has a big impact in developing student literacy and is the beginning of their learning journey. Without extensive reading, students will lack motivation to read which can undermine foreign language learning.
Reading principles
Teachers should encourage students to engage with and enjoy reading by selecting interesting texts on topics like health facts or global warming. Students should be encouraged to respond to what they read by discussing what it meant to them and how it made them feel. Prediction is an important reading skill, so teachers can provide clues from materials like book covers and headlines to help students anticipate the content. Reading assignments should match students' ability levels and fully make use of reading material by continuing discussion and related tasks beyond just the initial reading.
Choosing a-coursebook
The document discusses important factors to consider when choosing a coursebook for teaching English. It explains that the coursebook is one of the few choices teachers have control over. An effective coursebook caters to both the teachers' and students' needs. For teachers, a good coursebook provides structure, materials, ideas and time savings. For students, it offers progression, independence, review and engagement. However, no single coursebook will perfectly suit every teacher and class, so compromises must be made. Teachers should supplement materials as needed and see the coursebook as a partner rather than something that dictates their entire lesson plans.
Coursebook evaluation
The document provides a summary of a teacher interview about use of coursebooks:
1) The teacher believes coursebooks should focus on students' interests and local context but should not be the only resource.
2) Coursebooks are frequently used for reading and vocabulary activities but less for grammar due to losing student focus.
3) The teacher supplements coursebooks with online activities to engage students when the coursebook is not relevant to them.
4) Developing communicative skills like speaking and listening is important, especially for lower-level students.

Reading for life - Matsumoto JALT PAN-SIG Conference Presentation
This PPT accompanied a presentation given by Joseph Dias and Gregory Strong at the JALT PAN-SIG Conference in Matsumoto Japan on May 21, 2011 in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
As most of our students now are digital natives who prefer YouTube to Hugo, Facebook to Fitzgerald , and Twitter to Twain, it’s difficult to have them attend to texts longer than status updates. The speakers will discuss ways of inviting students to become lifelong learners by making reading relevant.
The speakers discussed the groundwork for a reading curriculum revision project in an English Department of a Japanese university by presenting the results of their investigation of current teaching practices, along with an exploration of all aspects of their students' reading: both in the L1 and L2, online and off, mobile and static, for pleasure and required, current and projected. The project began with a thorough needs analysis (Brown, 1995; Richards and Rogers, 2001) that involved focus groups, classroom observation, and the administration of online surveys to students, reading teachers, and upper division content course instructors. Particular attention was focused on how reading instruction could be made relevant to digital natives and how the practice of reading could be made into a habit and carried beyond the temporal and physical confines of school life.
