Decide on your target learners and then make use of the following procedure to develop a unit of materials for classroom use with them (ideally in a team but by yourself if nec- essary or preferred):
1. Brainstorm your principles of language acquisition.
2. Use your principles to develop a set of universal criteria for the development and evaluation of your unit.
5 The Development of Materials
3. Write a brief profile of your target learners.
4. Use your profile to develop a set of local criteria for the development and evaluation of your unit.
5. Use your criteria to decide on a flexible framework to drive your unit of materials.
6. Use your framework to develop an initial draft of your unit.
7. Use your criteria to evaluate your unit.
8. If possible show your criteria and your unit to a colleague and invite their feedback.
9. Revise your unit.
10. Use your unit with a class.
11. Evaluate your unit again in the light of student responses to it.
12. Revise your unit again.
13. Evaluate the procedure you used to develop your materials and make any modifica- tions you think will improve it before developing another unit of materials.
14. You could write up your experience as an article for the MATSDA journalFolioor do a presentation on it at a MATSDA conference (see www.matsda.org).
