CONSULTING REFERENCE RESOURCES TO HELP IN LESSON PREPARATION

UNIT 23


There are some aspects I have learnt in this unit. First of all, reference resources focus on extra source information about teaching the language as a help in lesson preparation. They are divided into reference materials and supplementary materials. These materials mainly refer to academic books or dictionaries related to any specific subject related to the language. For example, if a coursebook does not show a well-prepared grammar explanation, the teacher goes for using other references materials. It could be a book that is only focused on grammatical structures with some exercises to do





Having learned the key concepts that relate to the unit, I will apply as a future English teacher these references resources in class. For example, if I consider that the coursebook does not have a precise content to make my class understandable, I will use either reference materials or supplementary materials depending on the problem case. In this way, I will anticipate problems about my students' understanding while giving the class.

In the videos presented in the blog, you will find more information about references resources. The first one is how to use the references materials and the second one, how to use a good dictionary related to the same topic.

  7. Teachers have to be aware of the realibility of the materials the choose for the class because with this material students are going to learn or confuse the language.

  10. I agree Leo. All the examples that you have cited will be helpful for teachers in order to improved the content and activities that are not established in the courbook.
