LARGER CONSIDERATIONS

The majority of materials available for use in class can be easily adapted to fit a variety of teaching environments, but adaptation does require some time and forethought. Here are some key factors to consider as you adapt resources to best suit your goals and the needs and interests of your students.

Target Skill of the Lesson

The target skill (reading, writing, listening, or speaking) is the foundation of a language lesson. When bringing in outside materials and adapting them for a lesson, teachers must prioritize the lesson’s target skills and objectives over other factors. For example, a teacher might find a wonderful material that is relevant to the lesson’s theme and easily adapted for class size and environment, but the material does not fit well with the lesson’s target skill. Therefore, this resource may not be the best choice. Here are questions to help consider target skills:

• Can the material be adapted to work with the target skill of the lesson? What kind of adaptation is needed for this material to be an effective part of the overall lesson?
• How much time and effort are required to adapt the material to fit the target skill of the lesson? Is that time and effort better spent on incorporating other materials?

Class Environment and Size

The number of students in your class or your classroom context can affect a resource’s impact and usefulness for your students. Consider these questions before you adapt a resource for your learners:
