A good starting point for any inexperienced TEFL teacher, is to make use of a course

book. A course book is written especially for students and is therefore non-authentic.

Materials which are not specifically designed for classroom use, but which may be

exploited in a language environment, are authentic.

When considering appropriate topics in the classroom, one should consider the learners’

age and intellectual maturity. Topics aimed at young learners should where possible focus

and social culture, exploring one’s individuality, etc.
