1. ADAPTING TEXTBOOKS TO
GENERATE DEEPER LEARNING
Mrs Sawsen Abid

2. To begin with, if you ask students
to open the textbook on a certain
page and look at their faces, then
you will notice reluctance,
boredom, and monotony.
But, if you make use of authentic
supplimentary materials and
deliver the content in a creative
way, then you will create
motivation and generate deeper
learning.
WHY ADAPTING TEXTBOOKS

4. Purpose of a textbook
• A textbook can serve different purposes for
• teachers:
• (a) a core resource,
• (b) a source of supplementary material,
• (c) an inspiration for classroom activities, and
• (d) a curriculum itself

5. However, we should also
remeber that textbooks
are only ONE source of
information among many
others, it is up to the
teachers to adapt the
process, delivery and
content to meet the needs
of the students.
