The Interaction Between College L2 Teachers'Materials Use and Their Decision-Making Processes
Drawing on Borg's(2015)language teacher cognition model,this case study adopted such methods as interview,classroom observation and materials analysis to examine the interaction between college EFL teachers'materials use and their decision-making processes.Results demonstrated that 1)college L2 teachers addressed the practicalities of adapting the materials to meet class objective more closely by means of retaining,deleting,modifying,and supplementing techniques;2)college L2 teachers'materials use practices were jointly influenced by their stated cognition and cognition underlying actions;and 3)the interaction between college L2 teachers'materials use and their decision-making processes could be explained by the"language teacher decision-making model of materials use"proposed in the study.It is also argued that future language materials development research should focus on L2 teachers'decision-making processes of materials use.
