What of the next topics ARE NOTreviewed or reported on the article?

Tomlinson affirms that. Nowadays,materials development is also a field of academic study.

Without [blank_start]affective[blank_end] and cognitive engagement there is little possibility of deep processing (Craik & Lockhart 1972) and therefore little hope of enduring [blank_start]acquisition.[blank_end]Deep processing comes from personal involvement as an individual [blank_start]human[blank_end] being, and the coursebooks most likely to achieve more than coverage of [blank_start]teaching[blank_end] points are those that take a humanistic [blank_start]approach[blank_end] to language learning and help the [blank_start]learners[blank_end] to localise, to personalise and to achieve confidence and self-esteem

What is the book of Tomlimson & Masuhara (2012) about?

The [blank_start]literature[blank_end], though, often confuses materials analysis with materials [blank_start]evaluation[blank_end] and uses the terms interchangeably. For example, Mariani (1983: 28–29) includes in a section on ‘Evaluate your coursebook’ such analysis [blank_start]questions[blank_end] as ‘Are there any teacher’s notes?’, and Cunningsworth(1984:74–79)includes both [blank_start]analysis[blank_end] and evaluation questions in his ‘Checklist of Evaluation [blank_start]Criteria[blank_end]’

Over the last forty years, there have not been many changes in the methodologies coursebooks use, however there have been a lot of changes in the pedagogy they actually use.

(Tomlinson 2008b) proposes ways of applying commonly agreed theories of language acquisition to materials development. Select the 3 principles that are included on Tomlinson proposal.

Which of the following IS NOT a benefit of electronic materials?

Richards (2005) admitted that very few [blank_start]materials[blank_end] producers are also academic theorists and [blank_start]researchers[blank_end] and that there is very little research into the design and effects of materials, going on to suggest ways of connecting research and materials [blank_start]development[blank_end]. In addition, in a plenary paper, Chapelle (2008) pointed out how surprisingly little [blank_start]research[blank_end] has been published on materials [blank_start]evaluation[blank_end], which can also be said of research on the development and use of materials

In the last forty years materials development has progressed dramatically, both as an academic field and as a practical undertaking.
