Although a plethora of ESL materials exists, both in paper copy and online, the challenge facing the emerging ESL teacher is being able to find suitable resources and adapt them for a particular ESL class. This course will help TESL students better assess, select and adapt materials for their classroom, with the ultimate goal being the design and creation of materials specific to a given context. TESL students will also explore how best to integrate technology into the classroom, avoiding a "technology for technology's sake" mindset. Copyright and issues pertaining to the use of existing materials and technology will also be discussed.
