This book delves into the practical aspects of materials development in junior secondary English classrooms. It presents five in-depth case studies documenting the development and evaluation of materials in collaboration between Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) student-teachers at a university and English teachers in a secondary school. These case studies draw upon theoretical underpinnings such as cooperative learning, task-based language teaching, inductive grammar instruction, genre-based pedagogy, and multiple intelligences. Additionally, this book showcases the innovative instructional materials which are the outcomes of these cases.
With its practical guidance for teachers and its academic rigor for researchers, this book not only advances the field of materials development, but also serves as a practical guide for language educators and student-teachers seeking to contribute to in-house materials development. Its relevance and applicability make it a valuable asset in both academic and classroom contexts.
