3.  Deficiency view >> some teachers need
teaching materials to
support teachers’ deficiency
 Difference view >> teachers are different &
they use materials as
carriers of decisions

4. Language teaching institution Sponsor
Teacher Learners

5.  Goals for oneself (personal goals)
e.g. Language teaching institution >> survive
Teacher >> develop
Sponsor >> interest & learners
 Goals for others
(Have goals & impose goals on the learners)

6. **The role of teaching materials may be
limited & cannot determine goals even
they cover learning goals.**

7.  Input (Teachers & students)
 Emergent content (unpredictable)
One course book for teaching in different
countries & there are many ways to use it.
 Materials (4 types of contents)
- the target language itself
- Subject-matter content
- Learning strategies
- Attitudes

8.  Learning process
 Activities
 Activity management

9. >> based on a management of language learning
>> concentrate on areas of teacher expertise (like action &
review phase)
>> Problem: “Teacher overload” – teachers do so much work
& fail to present language clearly (because they may not
prepare explanation for faulty and error which may happen)
>> Solution: teachers need more training to get learners to
do more

10. >> Problem: “Learner Underinvolvement”
(*Invovement = to participate in decision making and in the
whole business of the management of language learning)
>> Solution: “learner training” – train to take much more
responsibility for developing their own criteria and their
language learning

11. HOW:
1) Think of ways of getting learners to accept this
(including basic knowledge & problems of learner
training)
2) Find a course structure
- Class time
- Self-access time
- Private Consultation Time
3) Think ahead to possible follow-up activities

12. - Need learning materials, rather than teaching materials
>> Guide to independent language learning for learners
without teachers
- Motivation  Captive Learners
 Non-captive learners
