Course Description:
This course engages the pre-service English teachers in the selection,
development, production, and evaluation of variety of language
teaching and learning resources based on the identified K to 12
learning competencies. Through these activities, they are able to
demonstrate content knowledge on the principles and procedures of
language materials development. Students show competence in
employing innovative strategies on the design and development of
contextualized and localized instructional materials that provide
opportunities for meaningful, purposeful language use thereby
facilitate language learning and teaching.
Intro

What is LLM?
• Language Learning Materials Development is the
process of creating, choosing, adapting, and organizing
materials that helps students learn and use a language
effectively.
• It means making or improving learning tools (like
textbooks, worksheets, activities, videos, or games) so that
students can understand, practice, and use a language in
real life.
Intro

Step - by- Step
1. Know the learners - understand the students’ age, level,
needs, interests, and culture.
2. Set a clear goal - decide what students should be able to
do (for example: speak politely, write a paragraph, understand
a story).
3. Choose or create materials - prepare lessons, activities,
texts, or tasks that match the goal.
4. Make it meaningful - use real-life situations (school,
home, community, daily conversations).
Intro

Step - by- Step
5. Make it interactive - include activities like role-plays,
group work, games, and discussions.
6. Check and improve - see if the materials work well, then
revise if needed.

Examples
• Textbooks
• Worksheets
• Flashcards
• Dialogues and stories

language?
Intro

Unit 1: Introduction to
Material Development
Learning Outcomes:
a. deepen understanding on the essence of instructional materials
towards a successful instructional delivery

Intro

• Communication is a survival resource. In this era of
massive advancement in information, science,
technology, you need to be equipped with a wide
array of scaffolds that can help facilitate active
engagement with different kinds of environment in
order for you to survive in this globally competitive
world.
Intro

• Nunan (1992) states that teaching materials are often the
most substantial and observable component of pedagogy.
• This premise leads to the idea that in language learning
activities, oftentimes teachers consider learning materials
as fundamental elements towards the attainment of the
expected competencies as they support meaningful
teaching and learning.
• Edge (1993) stated that materials exist in order to support
learning/teaching, so they should be designed to suit the
people and the processes involved.
Intro

• This course is two - pronged.
• This ushers you to the essentials of language learning
materials development as this will equip you in the
preparation of a meaningful language teaching and
learning.
• In this process, you are guided that as you become
professional teachers, you don’t only pay attention to the
competencies or outcomes, topics and assessment
measures but you have to give equal value on the
instructional materials as these enhance students’ learning.
Intro

• Language learning materials development is the systematic
process of designing, creating, and evaluating tools (like
textbooks, apps, videos) that help people learn a new
language, focusing on effective instruction, learner
engagement, and providing authentic language exposure for
real-world communication. It's a field within applied
linguistics that bridges theory and practice, producing
resources from classroom worksheets to online platforms,
ensuring they meet learners' needs and support language
acquisition.

Key Aspects:
• Definition: Creating resources (print, audio, visual, digital)
for language teaching and learning.
• Process: Involves designing, implementing, and evaluating
materials for effectiveness.
• Types: Includes authentic (real-world) materials like
podcasts, and artificial (created for teaching) materials like
worksheets.
• Goal: To provide learners with meaningful input and
opportunities for communicative output, making learning
relevant and engaging.

Examples of Materials
Print: Textbooks, workbooks, flashcards, activity sheets.
Audio/Visual: Podcasts, videos, songs, movies,
educational TV.
Digital/Online: E-books, apps, websites, interactive
modules.

Principles of Development
Learner-Centered: Materials should be relevant, build
confidence, and cater to different learning styles.
Authenticity: Exposing learners to real language use is
crucial for motivation and comprehension.
Engagement: Encouraging intellectual, emotional, and
aesthetic involvement.
Communicative Focus: Providing chances to use the
language for real purposes, not just controlled practice.

Usage Examples:
Classroom: Teachers adapting a textbook chapter with
local examples or creating a new activity based on a news
article.
Commercial: Publishers creating a series of digital
language learning apps for mobile devices.
Self-Study: Learners using authentic YouTube videos or
language exchange platforms.

Examples of Language Learning Materials (LLM) in a
classroom setting:
1. Role - Play Dialogue (Speaking & Listening)
Example: Ordering food in a school canteen. Students practice
dialogues in pairs and create their own conversations.
2. Grammar Worksheet (Grammar)
Example: Subject - verb agreement worksheet with
identification, completion, and sentence writing tasks.

3. Picture - Based Vocabulary Cards (Vocabulary)
Example: Flashcards showing classroom objects. Students match
words, say meanings, and form sentences.
4. Short Reading Text with Activities (Reading)
Example: A short story about daily routines followed by
comprehension and discussion questions.
5. Listening Audio with Tasks (Listening)
Example: Audio conversation where students listen for details
and answer questions.

6. Language Game (Integrated Skills)
Example: Word bingo or sentence - building games done in
groups to encourage interaction.
7. Teacher - Made Visual Chart (Reference Material)
Example: Parts of speech chart displayed in class for easy
reference.

Summary:
• Language Learning Materials help make lessons meaningful,
engaging, and learner - centered. They support communication,
practice, and real - life language use in the classroom.

Essence of Instructional
Materials
General Overview
• Instructional materials refer to those alternative channels of
communication, which a classroom teacher can use to
concretize a concept during teaching and learning process.
Before a teacher can design or produce an instructional
material, he has to know what these instructional materials are,
their advantage and disadvantage, characteristics, limitations,
etc. the essence of producing instructional materials, is to
facilitate the teaching learning process. (Amodioha, 2009)

Materials
General Overview
• An instructional material is any systematic description of the
teachniques and excercises to be used in the classroom
teaching. (Brown, 1995)
• They are didactic material things which are supposed to make
learning and teaching possible. (Obanya, 1989)

Materials
General Overview
• They are human and non - human materials and facilities that
can be used to ease, encourage, improve and promote teaching
and learning activities. They are defined as resources that
organize and support instruction, such as textbooks, tasks and
supplementary materials.” (Remilliard and Heck 2014)

Materials
General Overview
• Teaching aids are objects (such as a book, picture or map)
or devices (such as DVD or computer) used by a teacher
to enhance or enliven classroom instruction. (Shukla,
2018)

Materials
General Overview
• The role of materials (particularly textbook) in language
teaching as a resource - for presentation materials;
activities for learners’ practive and communicative
interaction; for learners on grammar, vocabulary,
pronunciation stimulation and ideas for classroom
activities; a support for less experienced teachers.
(Cunningsworth as cited in Richards, 2003)

Materials
General Overview
• It is worthy to note that in order to make instructional activities
effective, the teachers’ corresponding instructional materials need to be
well-thought-of, appropriate and responsive to the varying needs of
students.
• In other words without them, learning becomes theoritical and not
practical.
• In support, instructional materials are the tangible, non-tangible; print
or non - print devices which lead the students to become lifelong
learning skills who are critical and creative thinkers.
