Study strategies 

Before I followed my learning-to-read first the material that will be studied today in the book "Allright, R. 1981. Language learning through communication practice. In C. J.

Brumfit and K. Johnson (eds.), The communicative approach to language

teaching. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 167-182." 

then when the class started I listened to my friend who was presenting and Mrs. Dwi explained through zoom then we discussed about the material learned.


Synopsis

According to  Allwright (1981,173) the authentic materials are preferred over created materials, because they contain authentic language and reflect real-world uses of language compared with the contrived content of much created material.

·         Reflection

Teaching materials are a key component in most language programs. Whether the teacher uses a textbook, institutionally prepared materials, or his or her own materials, instructional materials generally serve as the basis for much of the language input.

Some teachers use instructional materials as their primary teaching resource. The materials provide the basis for the content of lessons, the balance of skills taught, and the kinds of language practice students take part in. In other situations, materials serve primarily to supplement the teacher's instruction. For learners, materials may provide the major source of contact they have with the language apart from the teacher. Hence the role and uses of materials in a language program are a significant aspect of language curriculum development.
