Second Language acquisition research and materials development
Basic principles by Tomlinson
A prerequisite for language acquisition is that the learners are exposed
to a rich, meaningful and comprehensible input
to maximise learners exposure to language in use, they need to be engaged both affectively and congitively in the language experience
positive affect contributes to more likely gaining of communicative competence
L2 language learners can benefit from mental resources which they typically utilise when acquiring and using their L1
Language learners can benefit from noticing salient features of the input and from discovering how they are used
Learners need opportunities to use language to try to achieve communicative purpuses
Principles from SLA
Materials should achieve impact
novelty
variety
attractive presentation
appealing content
achievable challenge
Materials should help learners feel at ease
lots of white space
texts and illustrations that relatable to their own culture
learners are more relaxed when materials are obviously trying to help them to learn
Materials should help learners to develop confidence
What is being taught should be perceived by learners as relevant and useful
Materials should require and facilitate learner self-investment
Learners must be ready to acquire the points being taught
Materials should expose the learners to language in authentic use
The learners' attention should be drawn to linguistic features of the input
Materials should provide the learners with opportunities to use the target language to achieve communicative purposes
Materials should take into account that the positive effects of instruction are usually delayed
Materials should take into account that learners differ in learning styles
Materials should take into account learners differ in affective attitudes
providing choices of different types of text
providing choices of different types of activities
providing optional extral for the more positive and motivated learners
providing variety
including units in which the value of learning English is a topic for discussion
Materials should not rely too much on controlled practice
Materials should provide opportunities for outcome feedback
