Supplementary materials

To me the most important package is package number 8 which includes a library and a set of books that learners could use like additional material for the second language learning and also it´s important for teachers to have a complete set of technological materials to work, like printers and computers with the latest softwares, that means the second most important package is the number 5 followed by package number 4 wich brings students the posibility to learn with videos and audios in english so they can be more familiar with the language.

Supplementary materials


Package 1: A set of computers for learner´s use, with accompanying language learning programs on floppy disk.
6
Package 2: A set of reference books for the teachers, including grammars, dictionaries; various specialized textbooks; handbooks of activities; and a subscription to a teacher´s journal of your choice.
4
Package 3: A number of overhead projectors and slide projectors, with all necessary film, slides and markers.
5
Package 4: Video equipment, with assorted cassettes, including language-learning material and films in the target language.

Package 5: Computers and printers for teacher´s use; each computer has a hard disk with the latest word processor and various programs that enable you to compose your own computer tasks for learners.
2
Package 6: Several cassette recorders with accompanying earphones (so that several learners can listen quietly to one machine); a selection of accompanying cassettes for language learning.
7
Package 7: A wide variety of posters and sets of coloured pictures, plus board and card games for language learning.

Coursebook analysis


Coursebook: 7º Travelers. Macmillan. 2011.

The items that has got "0"  points is because the book doesn´t have those topics, for example the book doesn´t include audio cassettes, in this case the teacher book has a cd with activities but students can´t work in their house the listening activities. The book is easy to read, has appropiate visual materials, clear instructions, the contents are organized and includes periodic review and test sections.
