According to

Cunningswort (1995)
Cunningswort (1995) summarizes the role
of materials (particularly course books) in
language teaching as a :
 Resource for
presentation
materials
 Source of activities for
learner practice and
communicative
interaction
 Reference source for
learners on grammar,
vocabulary,
pronunciation, etc.…
 Source of stimulation
and ideas for
classroom activities.
 Support for less
experienced teachers
who have yet to gain in
confidence in the
language classroom.
Syllabus (where they
reflect learning
objectives which have
already been
determined)
Dudley – Evans and St. John (1998) argues, materials serve the following
functions:

• As a source of
language
• As a learning support
• For motivation
• For reference
