In unit 13 I learned about the advantages and disadvantages of using a course book for English learning, as well as ways to use one properly. While textbooks can be predictable and boring at times, as a first time teacher, having a text to refer to would be a helpful tool. Some obvious advantages to using a course book would be to have a clear, balanced curriculum to refer to as well as sample activities to fall back on or modify.
As a student I usually disliked course books and found them very unmotivating. This was generally because I didn't feel they were geared for me but rather for a very wide audience. I preferred to guide my own learning, selecting my own reading materials based on what interested me.
As a teacher I could use a course book behind the scenes to help me plan lessons and find authentic texts for the students consumption whenever possible.
