What are some positive trends in material production?

 Some positive trends in material production:

The publishing trade certainly dominates material developments. While they do claim that it is supported by research on what teachers and children need, this may not be entirely true, as the trade is often driven by economic and commercial pressures.

Unfortunately, teachers and true language experts are unable to compete with the publishing trade and so tend to eventually give in to them.

However, some positive trends about the production of material are:

i. Materials requiring investment by learners where they discover for themselves the intricacies of the language and content.

ii. Interactive learning packages which use different media to provide richer experiences of the language. 

iii. Extensive reader series that does not rely just on language activities but provoke the reader to think as well.

iv. Personalized texts that refer the learner to actual life and the use of language in such situations.

v. Increased use of internet sources for language learning.

vi. Introduction of functional grammar rather than rules of grammar.

vii. More and more government research institutions like the NCERT etc. are involved in preparing materials where there is no commercial angle to these materials.
