What are materials? Most people associate the term “language-learning materials” with the coursebook because that has been their main experience of using materials. Materials could obviously be cassettes, videos, CD-Rooms, dictionaries, grammar books, readers, workbooks or photocopied excercises. They could also be newspapers, food packages, photographs, live talks by invited native speakers, instructions given by a teacher, tasks written on cards or discussions between learners. In other words, they can be anything which is deliberately used to increase the learner’s knowledge and/or experience of the language.
