Teaching material

Teaching material (/mə'tɪərɪəl/), also known as didactic material includes anything that aids in teaching.

Examples

• coursebooks
• lesson plans
• student exercises
• games
• realia
• stationery

Considerations

• In lesson planning, it’s helpful to state the teaching materials required for a lesson so if other teachers use the lesson plan, they can quickly determine if the lesson is possible under their own teaching conditions.
• Using materials which reflect the variety of learning styles, interests, abilities, attention spans, and backgrounds of their students might be beneficial.
