In the ideal world, teachers would choose their coursebook based on their students' needs (level; perhaps with the use of a placement test, learning preferences, learning background, areas of language difficulty; perhaps with the use of a diagnostic test, and topics of interest).
Unfortunately the practicalities of modern language teaching mean that often our coursebook package is already chosen for us. However, this doesn't mean that we can't adapt our materials to make them more suitable for our learners.
Problem Solution
The material is too easy/difficult for my learners.
The tasks are too long/short.
The topics don't match my learners' interests.
My students get bored with the same format.
The activities don't provide real world practice.
What solutions can you suggest for these common problems?
