What is the importance of instructional material in teaching of English?

Answer 1

The teaching of English involves many processes in learning language in general. In recent research concerning how a person learns a second language (L2) it has been found that the importance of the first language(L1) is the foundation for L2. If a person can't read or write their L1 it is harder to teach L2 since the literacy is not there. Some times the instructional materials that are needed to help the learner has to be made to fit the individual needs of the student. Textbooks and other materials are important in teaching a L2, but commercial materials often are not available.
