This volume centres on the domain in materials research that is the least investigated: how language teachers and learners use materials, as well as the factors that influence their use. Issues such as how teachers and learners working with materials inform materials writers, how teachers’ perspectives influence how they perceive and enact materials, and the factors that contribute to teachers’ use of both traditional and innovative textbooks are discussed here, as well as the theoretical frameworks that inform our current understanding of materials’ use. The volume presents the reader with studies that will advance their understanding of this promising area of materials research, and will appeal to postgraduate students, teachers, materials developers, and researchers.
