B. Lalitha Devi, M.A. (English), PGDTE, (M.Phil.)

Abstract

Supplementary materials play an important role in language teaching. It is a well-known fact that teaching has a lot do with understanding and attending the needs of the learners whose learning directly or indirectly is influenced and improvised based on the methods adopted and the choice of materials. This paper discusses the types of materials and the uses of handout (or) worksheets as a supplementary material or teaching-aid in initiating discussions in the second language classroom.

Keywords: Supplementary materials, syllabus, classroom discussion, secondary level, English teaching.

Syllabus-Definition

In the words of Scott Thornbury (2006) “a syllabus is an item-by-item description of the teaching content of a course. On the basis of the syllabus, a timetable or a scheme of work can be drawn up” for the academic year.
