    Vivian Cook proposes suggestions for choosing effective language teaching materials for adult learners from an L2 user perspective. [1] Materials should use adult themes, teaching methods, and language level appropriate for adults. [2] Materials should reflect the real situations, roles, and language used by L2 users instead of only focusing on native speakers. [3] Teaching methods can move beyond 19th century principles by incorporating the learners' first language and a balance of both written and spoken language practice.

    Materials for Adult

    Beginners from an L2
    User Perspective
    By. Vivian Cook
    Hello!
    I am Novyko Dwi Aulliah
    I am here because I love to give
    presentations.

    3 Asumssions about language teaching
    materials for adults:
    1. Adult students have adult mind and interests
    Adult ≠ Children
    L2 user outside the classroom
    2. Second language users are people in their own right
    Use L2 for their own purposes
    3. Language teaching has been held back by unquestioning
    acceptance of traditional nineteenth-century principles
    Priority of speech

    3
    Adult students
    have adult mind
    1 and interests
    Course book which must keep up the intrigued
    of individuals who have specific reasons for
    studying a new language, their interests, social
    connections and level of intelligence.
    a. The types of students aimed at
    Visualize the types of students the course-books are intended for, one needs
    to look at the characters they feature and the topics they are about
    b. The topics discussed.
    the course topics can interest the students during the lesson and allow them
    to use a second language for their final purpose

    Sugesstion by Vivian Cook, how to choose the materials?

    “
    1. Materials should be adult in theme, teaching
    method and language.

    ⊹ The topics have to be explore able to an adult level of conversation,


    ⊹ Using adult roles, such as : workers, in the office etc.
    ⊹ Do adult activity such as: listing, ordering and sorting, comparing,
    problem solving, sharing personal experience and creative

    6
    Second language
    users are people
    2 in their own right
    ⊹ Adoption of the native speaker goal
    With an achievable goal in mind, the atmosphere in teaching can be more
    positive
    ⊹ Native speaker language
    The forms and pronunciation is native speakers
    Sugesstion by Vivian Cook, how to choose the materials?

    “ 2. Materials based on the L2 user perspective aimed


    at adults should reflect the situations, roles, and
    language of L2 users, not just native speakers

    The target to motivation for learner


    ⊹ L2 user role (Course books need to present favorable images
    of L2 users, both the invented characters in their dialogues
    and the famous characters that are paraded from time to time)
    ⊹ L2 user situations
    ⊹ L2 user target language
    ⊹ The types of situation portrayed

    8
    Language teaching has
    been held back by
    unquestioning
    acceptance of
    3 traditional nineteenth-
    century principles
    ⊹ Reliance on the first language
    ⊹ Emphasis on the spoken language
    Suggestion by Vivian Cook, how to choose the method?

    “ 3. teaching methods can go beyond the principles of


    language teaching familiar since the nineteenth
    century
    ⊹ Use of the first language in the classroom
    Applied to course books the first language can be used for:
    - conveying meaning
    - explaining grammar
    - giving instructions and tests
    - using within teaching activities
    ⊹ Use of the written language in the course book
    Written language can be authentic notices, signs, real advertisements
    etc.; it can demonstrate proper discourse roles and functions. It can
    take its place alongside spoken language as a crucial aspect of L2 use,
    particularly in these days of emails, text messages and the web
