During the one-hour webinar we are going to reflect upon what materials we use, how we work with them, and how we can exploit them more effectively to facilitate the learning process for our students. We are also going to talk about adaptation techniques that could be used in the classroom and in preparation for the classes. Eventually, another burning question will be considered: why do we rely so heavily on the materials? What can we do to change this situation? How compatible are these alternatives with real-life teaching and to what extent do they help our learners?
