| AGAINST USING A COURSEBOOK
1. Inadequacy Every class - in fact, every learner - has their own learning needs: no one coursebook can possibly supply these satisfactorily. 2. Irrelevance, lack of interest The topics dealt with in the coursebook may not necessarily be relevant or interesting for your class. 3. Limitation A coursebook is confining: its set structure and sequence may inhibit a teacher's initiative and creativity, and lead to boredom and lack of motivation on the part of the learners. 4. Homogeneity Coursebooks have their own rationale and chosen teaching/learning approach They do not usually cater for the variety of levels of ability and knowledge or of learning styles and strategies that exist in most classes. 5. Over-easiness Teachers find it too easy to follow the coursebook uncritically instead of using their initiative; they may find themselves functioning merely as mediators of its content instead of as teachers in their own right. © Cambridge University Press 1996 area questions to consider 1 price How expensive is the textbook?
