It provides a comprehensive coverage of the main aspects and issues in the field as well as critical overviews of recent developments in materials development, and acts as a stimulus for innovation.     Now revised and updated to take account of developments over the last decade, this 3rd edition features:  - 8  new chapters, covering materials use, blended learning, multimodality, intercultural competence, communicative competence, the practical realisation of theoretical principles in the development of digital materials, the teaching of right to left languages and the commodification of grammar.    - Fully updated chapters with contemporary examples and considering teaching second and foreign languages other than English.    - New pedagogical resources, with the addition of tasks and further readings for each c\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of its stress on practical applications of theory and research . . . [this book] will be of great value to materials writers, publishers, and teachers interested in designing their own materials. A welcome contribution to the field. -- LinguistList [of second edition]\u003cbr\u003eOffers new insights into a wealth of topics, issues and perspectives that represent the current state of materials development thereby increasing teachers' awareness of changes in practice. -- RELC Journal [of second edition]\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeveloping Materials for Language Teaching\u003c\/i\u003e (3rd Ed.) is a completely updated reference resource and course book for materials designers and language teachers at all levels of professional development. Its strength is in its comprehensiveness, not only of content and key issues but also in geographic and education context coverage. -- Greta Gorsuch, Texas Tech University, USA\u003cbr\u003eThis valuable resource brings together well-established and new voices in the field of materials development to create a varied and up-to-date collection of chapters. Tomlinson’s volumes are known for their challenging and hard-hitting examination of the status quo, and this book does not disappoint. New chapters offer much-needed insights into under-researched areas such as the use of materials, right to left scripted languages and the commodification of grammar, and ‘old’ chapters have been updated with fresh insights. An essential for anyone researching, studying or practising materials development. -- Heather Buchanan, University of York, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures List of Tables List of Contributors Preface, \u003ci\u003eBrian Tomlinson (Anaheim University, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e Introduction: Are Materials Developing? \u003ci\u003eBrian Tomlinson (Anaheim University, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Evaluation and Adaptation of Materials\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
