What do adding, adapting and replacing look like?
In the following four examples, we are going to show how textbook material can be used creatively by teachers.
Example 1: addition (intermediate)
Most textbooks have word lists, sometimes at the back of the book, sometimes at the end of a unit or a section. These are usually ignored, except by some students who often write inaccurate translations of the words. Teachers seldom touch them. Yet here is a chance to add to what the textbook provides in enjoyable and useful ways.
