Abstract
NUNEZ PARDO, Astrid and TELLEZ TELLEZ, María Fernanda. ELT Materials: The Key to Fostering Effective Teaching and Learning Settings. profile [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.2, pp.171-186. ISSN 1657-0790.
Our article aims at providing teachers with an overview for materials development, taking into account the experience gained by two teachers in the English Programme of the School of Education at Universidad Externado de Colombia in Bogotá. This experience has helped us achieve better teaching and learning conditions for our university students in their quest to learn a foreign language. This paper addresses the issue of the role of teachers as textbook developers, and how they can meet materials development demands by integrating a clear conceptualisation and set of principles as well as their essential components.
Keywords : Materials development; text developers; materials development demands; effective teaching and learning settings.
