Consider a language module that you teach, preferably one which you convene or for which you are mainly responsible. Look through all the target language texts you use on this module (they may be textbook passages or elements of a resource pack) and write a 3,000-word review in which you consider/reflect on the following:

• rationale for using these texts;
• what students are supposed to learn from using them (with links to the intended learning outcomes of the module);
• how appropriate these texts are for the level of students' proficiency in the target language, bearing in mind particularly the difficulty level of the vocabulary featured in the texts;
• to what extent the texts offer opportunities to practise flexible approaches to reading (skimming, scanning, etc) and how the module might be re-organized to encourage this still further;
• what opportunities exist within the constraints of the existing module to help students develop strategies to process the following more effectively: a) syntax; b) vocabulary; c) organizational features at paragraph- and text-level.
