51. Why adapt coursebooks?

-It is a generally accepted truth that there is no perfect coursebook which could

suit anylearning/teaching context. Every learning/teaching situation is unique


and depends on a series of factors such as the learners' personalities and the

group dynamics, the constraints imposed by the syllabus, the type of programme,

number of hours, the motivation of learners, their expectations and experience,the


availabilities of resources and the teacher's experience.

- When you decide to adapt coursebooks for any of the possible reasons, you need to
be aware of your students' needs,interests, learning styles and motivation. You also
need to be aware of what they find easy or difficult so as to keepa balance between
challenging and doable. Given these requirements, materials adaptation can turn into a
worthwhile activity, able to give a personal note to a coursebook, to raise and maintain
students' motivation for learning or to provide them with some kind of support for
their learning.
