Do you use a textbook in your lessons? For many of us, this isn’t an option. In many schools it is required of you. If you’re lucky, you’ll get the choice of which one to use. Unfortunately though, you might find that your school has been using a particular one for ages and management is happy with it. Perhaps the school manager has a special deal with a bookshop or publisher. Perhaps he or she sells these to the students at a profit. If you are not happy with your books and you can’t get the school to change, check out some of my other entries on using textbooks in the classroom.
