it is important that materials are not only something used by the teacher at the front of the class to show to the students. Materials should also be manipulated by students and provide them with a reason to speak/ use the target language.
Communicative
Materials provide students with clear visual representation of the meaning of language. Realia and other materials can help teachers to present language in a meaningful context.
Meaningful
Only using the coursebook every lesson would be very boring. Different materials help to make our lessons, and consequently the target language, more memorable for students.
Memorable
