EDUC601 Developing Material For TESOL

Choose an English language coursebook that you are familiar with.1. Evaluate the book in terms of overall characteristics;2. Choose one unit to evaluate in detail;3. Choose at least two tasks from this unit to adapt so that they are more appropriate for your learners;4. Provide a rationale for your adaptation, explaining in what ways your tasksare more suitable than the original ones.Here is more detail about what I expect, building on and developing the topic of your presentation (you do not have to do the same unit/book as the presentation):Contextual detail is important, enough for the reader to understand who the students are etc. (this part is not in the instructions above but is necessary).Evaluation. Explain and discuss some principles of and approaches to evaluation (the theory). Describe which evaluation method/checklist you are using (points 1 and 2 in the instructions. Note that you are evaluating the book overall AND one unit.) Provide a rationale for the evaluation type or criteria you select. The evaluation will need to be according to criteria that you develop from checklists (adapted, probably). The actual evaluation can be put in an appendix.Design. Describe your adapted tasks, with rationale that refers to principles of design (points 3 and 4 in the instructions). The rationale answers the basic question Why are my tasks better than the ones I evaluated? You should include the redesigned tasks or lesson in the text where you describe them, or in an appendix if they are long.
