Hi, everyone!
I agree with almost all your interesting comments and posts.
For me, the most important Principle when it comes to creating or designing materials is that they should be motivating and interesting for students. This is because, nowadays, learners - especially children and teenagers - are exposed to and bombarded with so many different stimuli that they sometimes have great difficulty staying focused and engaged in activities in a formal learning context. This means that the material used should be intriguing and stimulating for them as they are more likely to deal with a challenging but interesting activity than with something they find easier but dull.
Of course, all other principles are of great importance and should be considered when creating material.
Feel like you were reading my mind 😀
ReplyDeleteYou are completely right, Myrto. It's difficult to suit all. But it works well if you involve your learners in materials design. They are ready to find everything you need and help with topic and design ideas, and in addition it helps with the rapport development.
