The document outlines key topics in materials development for language learning, including:
1. A history of publications on materials development from the 1970s to present day, with increasing focus on principles and practical guidance.
2. Issues in materials development like the value of textbooks, authenticity, and ideology. Research suggests textbooks often don't match claimed methodologies.
3. Processes of materials evaluation, adaptation, production, and exploitation. Guidelines are provided for making materials more principled, contextualized, and humanized.
4. The roles of new technologies and need for more research connecting materials design and empirical evidence of learner effects.
5. Overall, the literature shows progress in raising awareness and creativity
Developing principled frameworks for material developmentH. R. Marasabessy
A. What does ‘Materials development’ mean?
○ ‘Materials development’ refers to all the processes made use of by practitioners who produce and/or use materials for language learning, including materials evaluation, their adaptation, design, production, exploitation and research. Ideally, all of these processes should be given consideration and should interact in the making of language-learning materials.
○ Materials development is both a field of study and a practical undertaking. As a field it studies the principles and procedures of the design, implementation and evaluation of language teaching materials
B. Frameworks for materials development
Richards (1995:102-103) describes frameworks as the process of designing a “design or frame for a unit in a textbook” which can “serve as a formulae which the author can use in writing the book
C. Principles in Materials Development
Most writers on the process of the materials development focus on needs analysis as starting point. And some writers report starting by articulating their principles.
Bell and Gower (1998:122-125) started by articulating principles which they wanted to guide their writing:
○ Flexibility
○ From text to language
○ Engaging content
○ Natural language
○ Analytic approaches
○ Emphasis on review
○ Personalized practice
○ Integrated skills
○ Balance of approaches
○ Learner development
○ Professional respect
Tomlinson (1999b) describes a principled and flexible framework designed to help teachers to develop materials efficiently and effectively.
Penaflorida (1995:172-179) reports her use of the six principles of materials design identified by Nunan (1988):
1. Materials should be clearly linked to the curriculum they serve.
2. Materials should be authentic in terms of text and task
3. Materials should be authentic in terms of text and task
4. Materials should allow learners to focus on formal aspects of the language
5. Materials should encourage learners to develop learning skills, and skills in learning
6. Materials should encourage learners to apply their developing skills to the world beyond the classroom.
D. A Text-driven Approach to Materials Development
Tomlinson’s own preference is the text-driven approach, in which an engaging written or spoken text drives a unit of materials in which readiness activities activate the learners’ minds in relation to the text, initial response activities stimulate engagement whilst experiencing the text, intake response activities encourage articulation of personal responses, input response activities invite exploration of features of the text and development activities encourage learner production (Tomlinson 2003c).

There are the principles and procedures of material development by Brian Tomlinson and many researchers. The PPT explains about how to make materials for material development, or we called teacher. So, teacher should fulfill these procedures and principles when teach students.
Materials development stands as a crucial domain within ELT (English Language Teaching). For individuals aspiring to enhance and advance their English skills, the utilization of appropriate materials becomes imperative. Enclosed is a PowerPoint (PPT) file, the culmination of my comprehensive research on this subject, offering a historical overview of Materials development to aid your learning journey.
This article aims at probing the different types of syllabi used to teach English to English native
and non-native speakers. The researcher used a chronological approach in describing each syllabus
type in accordance to its emergence in epistemology of the syllabus design and pedagogical trends
in teaching English in the world. Theories of language and learning, characteristics of each
syllabus, and pros and cons of the discussed syllabi were highlighted throughout the article.
Guidelines for Designing Effective Language Teaching MaterialsRonald Suplido Jr
Paper by: Jocelyn Howard & Jae Major of Christchurch College of Education
Abstract:
There are many reasons why English language teachers may choose to construct their own teaching materials, despite the availaility of commercially produced materials. This paper presents some of these reasons by examining advantages and disadvantages of teacher-produced materials. The authors also suggest factors that teachers should take into account when designing or adapting materials for diverse learners, and present a set of guidelines for designing effective materials for teaching and learning English.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Literature History (cont.)
6. Material Evaluation
• A procedure that involves measuring the
value (or potential value) of a set of
learning materials. It involves making
judgements about the effect of the
materials on the people using them.”
7. Early literature on
Material Development
• Tucker (1975) propose a four-component scheme for measuring the
internal and external value of beginners’ text book.
• Davidson (1976) propose proposed a five-category scheme for the
evaluation and selection of textbooks.
• Dauod & Celce-Murcia (1979) provided checklists of criteria for evaluating
coursebooks.
• Candlin&Breen (1980) proposed criteria for evaluating materials and, unlike
many of their contemporaries, also proposed the use of these criteria when
developing materials.
• Rivers (1981) provided categories and criteria for evaluating materials.
• Mariani (1983) wrote about evaluation and supplementation,
• Williams (1983) developed criteria for textbook evaluation
8. • Cunningsworth (1984) provided a very detailed checklist of
evaluation criteria ‘for evaluating teaching material’ (p. 74).
• Breen & Candlin (1987) published a principled guide for both
evaluators and producers of materials
• Sheldon (1987, 1988) suggested criteria for both evaluating
and developing textbook material.
• Skierso (1991) provided probably the most comprehensive
checklist of criteria for textbooks
• and teachers’ books by combining checklists from various
sources.
• Cunningsworth (1995), Harmer (1991, 1998), Roberts (1996),
Ur (1996), Brown (1997), Hemsley (1997) and Gearing (1999)
also proposed checklists for evaluating materials
9. Tomlinson & Masuhara (2004: 7) propose these
questions for evaluating criteria:
a) Is each question an evaluation question?
‘Are there any material for testing?’ (Cunningsworth
1984)
‘are the learning activities in the course material likely
appeal to the laerners?’
b) Does each question only ask one question?
‘is it attractive? Given the average age of your
students, would they enjoy using it? (Grant 1987: 122)
10. c) Is each question answerable?
“Does the writer use current everyday language,
and sentences structure that follow normal word
order?” (Daoud & Celce-Murcia 1979: 304)
to what extent is the level of abstractness
appropriate? (Skierso 1991:446)
d) Is each question free of dogma?
‘are the various stages in a teaching unit (what
you would probably called presentation, practice
and production) adequately develop?’ (Mariani
1983: 29)
11. e) Is each question reliable in the sense
that other evaluators would interpret it in
the same.
“is it foolproof (i.e sufficiently methodical
to guide the inexperienced teacher
through a lesson)?”(Dougill 1987: 32)
12. Reporting Evaluation
• Evaluation reports which has been published
- Focusing on principles and procedures in conducting the evaluation (mostly)
- The effectiveness of course book
• Evaluation reports which focus on course book
– Tomlinson et al. (2001) - a review of eight currently popular UK course books
for adults
– Masuhara et al. (2008) – a review of eight course books for adults to a rigorous
criterion-referenced review
Both conclude the same view on how course book needs to be humanized and
personalized.
Result analysis:
- The neglect of literature as a source of potentially engaging text
- The lack of intelligent content in lower level
- The lack extensive reading and listening
- The scarcity of real task which has intended outcome than just practicing on
language forms
15. Several Tips for Material Adaptation
McGrath (2002)’s ways to adapt
Keep some material unchanged
Reject partially or completely sections of
material
Add extension
Further exploitation
16. • Saraceni (2003)’s way for material
adaptation
• Involves learner
• Aiming to be learner-centered, open-
ended, universal and authentic, flexible
giving choice for learner
17. McDonough et al. (2012)’s way to make adaptation
contextual:
Using familiar material and suitable situation for your
teaching
Islam & Mares (2003)’s way to solve congruence
problem
-Borrow objectives and categories from existing book
-Provide all learning style
-Provide learning autonomy
-Developing high-level cognitive skill
-Making the input more accessible and engaging
18. References about Material Adaptation
Other early publications which provided help to teachers when
adapting materials include;
• Candlin & Breen (1980), who criticise published
communicative materials and suggest ways of adapting them
so as to offer more opportunities for communication,
• Cunningsworth (1984), who focuses on how to change
materials so that they get the learners to do what the teacher
wants them to do
• Grant (1987), who suggests and illustrates ways of making
materials more communicative.
19. Experts who have given advice about
adaptation in the nineties include;
• Willis (1996), on ways of changing classroom
management and sequencing to maximise
the value of taskbased materials,
• Nunan (1999), on procedures for making
materials more interactive and
• White (1998), on ways of increasing student
participation when using listening materials.
20. Material Production
5.1 How writers write
•Repertoire
•Cloning successful publications
•Spontaneous ‘inspiration’
21. Research about how writers write
• Johnson (2003) doing a research
between some experts and some
students and get results if the experts,
they designed in opportunistic ways,
instantiated as they wrote, showed
learner/context sensitivity and used
repertoire a lot.
Interestingly, there was no explicit reference
by the experts to theory-driven principles
22. • Prowse (2011), some of writers of course book
focus on the creative, inspirational aspect of
materials writing (‘coursebook writing is a
creative rather than a mechanical process’ and
on making use of prior experience of teaching
and writing.
Research about how writers write (cont.)
23. • Tomlimson (2012): approach to materials
writing in which the ongoing evaluation of
the developing materials is driven by :
1.a set of agreed principles, both universal
principles applicable to any learning
context .
2.local criteria specific to the target learning
context(s).
Research about how writers write (cont.)
24. The principles proposed include:
•the language experience needs to be
contextualized and comprehensible.
•the learner needs to be motivated, relaxed,
positive and engaged.
•the language and discourse features available
for potential acquisition need to be salient,
meaningful and frequently encountered.
5.2 Principled development of materials
25. • the learner needs to achieve deep and
multi-dimensional processing of the
language.
(Tomlinson 2008b: 4)
Principled development of materials (cont.)
26. 5.3 Practical guidance to writers
• Johnson (2003) gives his informed
opinion on the expertise needed to be a
good task designer and Spiro (2006)
provides advice on how to become an L2
storywriter.
• Tomlinson (2003b, 2003c) proposes a
flexible text-driven framework for
developing materials and puts forward
ways of ensuring that materials are
humanistic.
27. • Tomlinson & Masuhara (2004) provide
practical advice on developing materials,
writing instructions, using illustrations and
layout and design.
• Van Avermaet & Gysen (2006) and Duran &
Ramaut (2006) give advice on writing tasks for
young learners.
• 5.3 Practical guidance to writers (cont.)
Folio has been publishing articles providing
information, advice and stimulus to materials
writers twice a year since 1993.
Practical guidance to writers (cont.)
28. Materials exploitation
• Teachers use their textbooks as
resources rather than as scripts
• how they use their course book depends
both on their experience and their view of
the course book’s value in their teaching
context
29. Issues in materials development
• The value of textbooks
– The textbook is the best medium for delivering language-
learning materials.
– Proponents : it is a cost-effective way of providing the
learner with security, system, progress and revision, whilst
at the same time saving precious time and offering
teachers the resources they need to base their lessons
on.
– Opponents : they can disempowered both teacher and
learners, cannot cater for the needs and wants of their
actual and provide only an illusion of system and progress
30. Tomlinson’s own view
I
that they need textbooks to save time and
money and many teachers want a course
book which provides everything they need
in one source.
31. The need for published materials
• Published materials - home-made materials
– to achieve greater relevance and engagement.
• For example, Tomlinson (2003d) describes how
a teacher in Jakarta made each group of students
responsible in one term for bringing her a
reading passage on which she then based a
reading lesson, and in the next term made each
group responsible for actually teaching a reading
lesson.
32. Tomlinson’s View
• My position is that most teachers and
students welcome published materials
and can gain from them as facilitative in
providing the personalized, relevant and
engaging experience of language in use
for meaningful communication.
33. Pedagogic approaches
• The methodologies course books claim to
be using, but very little change in the
pedagogy they actually use.
• PPP approaches:
– listen and repeat,
– dialogue repetition,
– matching picture or sentences and,
– filling in the blanks.
34. Tomlinson’s own preference is the text-
driven approach, in which an engaging
written or spoken text drives to activate
the learners’ minds in relation to the text,
to stimulate engagement whilst
experiencing the text, input response
activities invite exploration of features of
the text and development activities
encourage learner production (Tomlinson
2003c).
35. Authenticity of texts and tasks
The benefits of using authentic material
•Provide meaningful exposure to the
language
•Motivate learner and help to develop
communicative competence
•Enhance positive attitude to the target
language
36. Tomlinson’s view on authentic material
• Produced to communicate rather than to
practice the language
37. Acceptability
Debates on the sexism and racism issue used in
textbook
Pro: Material published on Namibian course book
“ON TARGET” – marital violence and drug abuse
included as it is requested by students on
nationwide survey
Cons: Most publisher avoid sexism and racism
issue used in textbook (consider it as taboo topic)
38. Humanizing Material
It relates to Learning theory and the need to
help learners to:
–Personalize
–Localize
–Make meaningful their experience of target
language
–Make material affectively engaging all learning
style preferences
39. Ideology in materials
Ferguson (2003) uses the
term‘Angloglobalisation’ to identify what he
sees as a positive connection between the
British Empire, English and globalisation
According to Tomlinson’s opinion, it is
inevitable that coursebooks communicate a
view of teaching and learning, a view of the
target language and the culture(s) they
represent and the worldview of their
producer.
40. The roles of new technologies in
language-learning materials
1. There have been radical developments
in the use of new technologies to deliver
language-learning materials.
• CALL Materials
• ICT Applications
2. The use of new technologies in language
learning, for teachers’ flexibility in
delivering the material
41. 9. Research in materials
development
Richards (2005) stressed that all materials
reflect the writers’ theories of language,
language use and language acquisition. He
admitted that very few materials producers
are also academic theorists and researchers
and that there is very little research into the
design and effects of materials, going on to
suggest ways of connecting research and
materials development.
42. So there is already quite an extensive
literature on research and materials
development but regrettably little of it
provides empirical evidence of the
effects of materials on their users.
Interestingly, none of the projects
reported was conducting research on
the effects of global coursebooks,
though many were reporting on
projects to find replacements for them.
43. Chapelle (2008) argued that we need
to take materials evaluation forward
into a more research-oriented
framework, which will enable us to
make claims about the effects of
materials on the basis of evidence
from research.
44. Conclusion
10.1 The current situation
Materials development has progressed
dramatically for building our awareness
and creativity to develop the material.
> Teachers also seem to be more
constructively critical of their coursebooks
and to be more willing, confident and able
to localise and personalise their
coursebooks for their learners..
45. 10.2 Gaps in the literature
How to encourage teachers and learners
to try new types of materials, about ways
in which commercial publishers can
achieve face validity whilst introducing
principled innovative approaches or about
approaches which help learners to
develop their own learning materials.
46. 10.3 The future of materials
development
> Edelivered electronically through
computers and smart phones, that
commercially produced materials will
continue to provide users with the materials
they expect and that more and more
institutions and countries will decide that
the only way to develop locally appropriate
materials is to do it themselves.
