Adapting and Modifying Online Materials

     We might not always be able to find the "perfect" material for our students, what we should do in that case is to work with what's in our hands. We can add, delete, modify, simplify, and reorder the content. 

    So, how can we do these?

    You can add anything extra you deem useful for your students, you can remove inappropriate parts, modify the target skill of the material (from reading to listening or vocabulary to listening for example.), simplify the content if it is too hard, or reorder if you believe the order is confusing for the students. There are more examples to be given but this should get the point across.

    You can also divide the changes into categories for the target skill;

  • Reading
  • Listening
  • Vocabulary
  • Grammar

    For example, here is how I and my group members changed our example work from the previous week.
