One potential pitfall for teacher-designed materials mentioned in the first part of this
article relates to the organisation within and between individual tasks. There is a very real danger
with self-designed and adapted materials that the result can be a hotchpotch of unconnected activities. Clearly stated objectives at the outset of the design process will help ensure that the resultant materials have coherence, and that they clearly progress specific learning goals while also giving opportunities for repetition and reinforcement of earlier learning.
