Professor Brian Tomlinson. Materials Development in TESOL: Trends and Issues. 

4:18 "Most coursebooks, tbh, the texts are not affectively or cognitively engaging, and neither are the tasks... and if you look at most coursebooks, nothing much has changed over the last 40, 50 years....... [lists approaches claimed by coursebooks] but if you look inside, you'll find that.. it's the same old thing - it's matching, it's filling in the blank, it's .. the exercises are very closed ... and the reason for that is so they can be used for tests...... [the coursebooks] narrow the learners' opportunities"

Recycling can be covered by adding an Extensive Reading component (in or) out of class. This works whether you are using a textbook or not.

Nice video , greetings from boys😔😎

WOW, I love this video so much. So inspiring. Thank you professor Brian Tomlinson and Dr. Masuhara.

As a Graduate TESOL teacher, I am really appreciative of this video. It is extremely helpful to actually listen to Professor Tomlinson explain his views on coursebooks and methodology. Many thanks.

Thank you for your explanation, I am an english teacher in Indonesia, Could you give me suggestions about good English teaching material book?

Thanks a lot for an interesting interview💙

lovely couple

Great. Thanks Professor Tomlinson dan Dr.Masuhara. Currently I am in the process of making dissertation proposal on materials development. This video really helps me. I hope you can upload more talks and discussions of related materials development.

What is the name of that book which he mentions as his favorite one?

thank you professor, but I have one question that is what are the principles of task design?

it's worth to me since i have been carrying out a research on 'ELT Materials Development and its Relevance.' Furthermore, it provided insight into how materials to be prepared and applied while teaching .
