E-raamat: Routledge Handbook of Materials Development for Language Teaching

'This volume presents a treasure trove of scholarship, information and advice for those concerned with materials development for language teaching. The authors have drawn together writers from a range of backgrounds and specialisms to provide insight into all aspects of materials from production to adaptation and from representation to evaluation. The emphasis on the digital is particularly timely given recent moves to online learning, and the critical stance taken by many of the authors will be welcomed by the TESOL community. The Handbook should be on the library shelves of all institutions that offer language teaching programmes.'

Fiona Copland, University of Stirling, UK

'Not many books address comprehensibly the diversity of issues in materials development, materials in practice and the evaluation of materials. This book engages the reader in debate, thereby enabling the triggers to critical thought.'

Jayakaran Mukundan, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia

As well as focusing on how theory and practice interrelate, the handbook aims to increase mutual understanding between the two camps: practitioners and theorists.

Paul A. Davies, English Language Teaching Journal

'The Handbook makes a significant contribution to previous literature on materials development by mapping the key issues, challenges, and considerations for each focal theme, and how they could be addressed in practice, as well as indicating future directions.'

Abdullah Yldz, English Language Teaching Journal
