Rely on your own teaching but also use the book for guidance or exercises ]]> 2022-01-25 14:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011359123 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011360176 BOTH: following the textbook for guidance but tailor making materials depending on how I know my students work best and what resonates with them most]]> 2022-01-25 14:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011360176 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011361806 Both! Use important textbook information in a way that is tailored to the needs of your students ]]> 2022-01-25 14:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011361806 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011362655 both; textbooks are useful for teaching grammar but tailormade material can be more interactive and interesting for students]]> 2022-01-25 14:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011362655 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011363061 For some courses there are very good established text books that encompass the whole course. Using one of those and then designing your lessons around it isn’t bad. If the only text books available are rubbish then it’d be worth being more creative and augmenting what’s available]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011363061 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011363118 Both, explain theory yourself but use the textbook for exercises]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011363118 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364311 I think both are good. Using a textbook can help with providing a foundation for certain things and own knowledge/tailor-made material can expand on these foundations to create better understanding and more interest for the students.]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364311 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364325 Maybe use the structure of a textbook so you cover all key areas, but adapt using your own materials / tasks to facilitate the learning better. So it's more engaging for the students ]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364325 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364363 No textbooks! I observed some really great teaching where textbooks were never used in the classroom. I found that students were more engaged and the activities were tailored to specific topics and themes. I can however see that textbooks can be valuable in some situations.]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364363 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364547 It depends on the textbooks ]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364547 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364805 Following a specific textbook is normally good if you are teaching for a specific exam, however, alternative materials should also be used to reinforce the content being studied. Most exam boards release a specific textbook for the exam. It is definitely good to use it. ]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364805 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364878 A bit of both, use the textbook when it is needed but mostly create teaching specific for your students]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364878 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364990 The textbooks are great for passing exams, following the curriculum and making sure you know everything you need to pass your tests

But they can also be very restricted, like the curriculum. So follow the textbook but don’t shy away from adding your own stuff here and there to keep the course interesting and having more ‘real world’ useful things]]> 2022-01-25 14:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011364990 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011366372 The textbook will maintain structure to you lessons but definitely use other sources ]]> 2022-01-25 14:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011366372 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011366404 Tailor made materials. I am currently in a school where they do not rely on textbooks at all and therefore the teachers are able to tailor the activity more to the students needs. Most of the students are more engaged with the activities created by the teacher and there is a lot more variety. You are focusing more on the specific content with the students using the sentence builders.]]> 2022-01-25 14:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011366404 https://padlet.com/wissiafiorucci/fjy2xcr9p0ppnm0i/wish/2011367267 Both! Depending on the learning objectives and the time. Text books can be used for reference and homework, which can be useful and provide a reliable source for students.
