This document outlines the objectives, principles, and procedures for adapting language learning materials. The learning objectives are to explore adapting materials, explain the principles and procedures of adaptation, develop contextualized materials, and practice designing materials for others. The principles of adaptation are that teachers adapt materials rather than strictly following textbooks, and textbooks are resources rather than instructional materials. The key procedures of adaptation are adding, deleting, modifying/rewriting, simplifying, and reordering materials.

ADAPTING MATERIALS

A successful teaching and learning scenario would be difficult to achieve without


the use of learning materials. It is an essential thing to adapt leaning materials in
order to achieve a successful discussion.
PRINCIPLES OF ADAPTING MATERIALS

Experienced teachers do not tend to follow the script of a course book inflexibly.
They add, delete and change tasks at the planning stage, and they reshape their plans
during the lesson in response to the interaction that take place.
PRINCIPLES OF ADAPTING MATERIALS

Textbooks are respected as resource books for ideas and activities rather than
as instructional materials.
PROCEDURES OF ADAPTING MATERIALS
We will now take a look at the procedures of adapting teaching materials:

1. Adding
2. Deleting
3. Modifying / Rewriting
4. Simplifying
5. Reordering
ADDING

Putting more into them while taking into account the


practical effect on time allocation.
DELETING

Deletion is clearly the opposite process to that of addition. Addition


and deletion often work together. Material may be taken out and then
replaced with something else.
MODIFYING/ REWRITING

Modification is a very general term in the language applying to any


kind of change. In other words, the act or process of changing
something in order to improve it or make it more acceptable is known
as modification or rewriting.
SIMPLIFYING

The technique of simplification is one type of modification, namely, a


rewriting activity. The main application of this technique has been to
texts, most often to reading passages. We can simplify according to:

Sentence structure: Sentence length is reduced, or a complex sentence


is rewritten as a number of simpler ones.
REORDERING

This procedure refers to the possibility of putting the parts of a course


book in a different order. This may mean adjusting the sequence of
presentation within a unit, or taking units in a different sequence from
that originally intended.
APPLICATION

Read the short story (My Adventure to the supermarket). Make the story easy
to understand by simplifying the words.

• Develop a learning material for English.
