Abstract | Three flaws found in commercial reading materials, such as workbooks and kits, are discussed in this paper, and examples of the flaws are taken from specific materials. The first problem noted is that illustrations frequently provide the information that the learner is supposed to supply through phonetic or structural analysis; the illustrations may be deterrents rather than aids. The second flaw noted is that skills are not always introduced sequentially. The third problem discussed is that material does not always do what it purports to do; for example, a phonetic exercise may actually test vocabulary. The author also summarizes ten flaws which he has written about in another paper; these are primarily concerned with the questioning techniques used to check reading comprehension. (MKM) |
