You must log in to view sessions Teacher Education (TED) Junior/Senior High School Practice-Oriented Short Workshop

Most textbooks contain more materials and activities than can be completed during the time available. Teachers therefore have to select what content to deal with and ignore. In this presentation, we will present criteria for the effective use of textbooks including to what extent the content integrates the four skills and grammar/vocabulary, and how accessible the meanings in the language are. Pages from a widely used secondary school textbook are applied throughout the presentation.
