Course Book Selection and Adaptation in Curriculum Design: An Overview, Önder Baltacı, Editör, Özgür Publications, Gaziantep, ss.61-80, 2023
Curriculum design
comprises not only creating language courses and course materials but also
selecting texts and other teaching resources and adapting changes to
pre-existing courses. There has been an ongoing debate concerning the role of
course books in language courses and how to equip teachers with a sensible
approach to adopting
and adapting course
books. Despite this,
practically all debates
conclude that course
books will be
beneficial if they
are in touch
with the present
state of learners’
knowledge (Graves, 2000).
As a result,
teachers should pay
attention to these
variables in curriculum
design and be
familiar with the
technique. A flexible
approach is essential,
as is selecting
a course book.
However, modifying and
incorporating a textbook into a curriculum is a more
difficult task than it appears, as it entails supporting and mentoring not only
teachers but also students in curriculum creation.
