Task 1. Independent study. Read the following article and discuss it with your 
group members. 
THE IMPORTANCE OF ADAPTING MATERIALS ACCORDING TO 
LEARNERS’ AGE AND NEEDS 
 General Considerations on Adapting Materials 
Finding and choosing materials to use in classes can be a challenge. Teachers must 
take into account a number of things, including authenticity, the original source, 
the target language skill, and learners’ language levels and ages. After choosing 
materials, teachers must then decide if the material needs to be further adapted to 
fit the needs of their learners. 
When adapting materials for language learners, teachers must consider a number of 
factors in order to offer an effective and relevant activity. First, teachers must think 
about the chosen material in relation to the target skill of the lesson, the class 
environment and size, the language level of learners, and the ages of the learners. 
Following that, teachers must look closely at the material itself in order to identify 
what adaptations are possible; these adaptations need to be considered in terms of 
the sub-skills targeted, such as vocabulary, grammatical components, structure and 
design, and idiomatic expressions.
After considering these factors, teachers can then decide if they need to edit, 
add to, or cut out some of the material. Though adapting materials can seem like a 
difficult task, the value added to students’ learning can make the entire process 
very worthwhile.
