Study Notes

Needs Analysis in Materials Development

  • Most writers on materials development start with needs analysis, citing authors such as Rozul (1995), Luzares (1995), and Fortez (1995)
  • However, some writers begin with articulating their principles, such as Tomlinson (1998c) and Flores (1995)

Principles of Materials Development

  • Tomlinson (1998c) proposes 16 principles for materials development based on SLA research and theory
  • Flores (1995) lists five assumptions and principles for textbook development in the Philippines
  • Bell and Gower (2011) articulate principles for writing, including flexibility, engaging content, and professional respect
  • Penaflorida (1995) uses six principles of materials design identified by Nunan (1988), including clear links to the curriculum and authentic materials
  • Hall (in Hidalgo et al., 1995) emphasizes the importance of considering how people learn language before planning or writing materials

Theoretical Principles of SLA

  • Tomlinson (2013) argues that SLA is facilitated by factors such as rich and meaningful exposure to language, affective and cognitive engagement, and student-centeredness
  • Hall (in Hidalgo et al., 1995) emphasizes the need for communication, long-term goals, authenticity, and student-centeredness

Text-Driven Approach to Materials Development

  • Tomlinson (2001) proposes a framework for developing language learning materials, including stages such as text collection, text selection, and experiential activities
  • The framework aims to create materials that adhere to the principles of SLA, including facilitating a rich and meaningful exposure to language and promoting student-centeredness
