The following words were selected by me from the Brian Tomlinson's Glossary of basic terms for materials development in language teaching in his book "Materials Development in Language Teaching". Some of them are new for me and some others just very important:
-Authentic text: A text which is nor written or spoken for language teaching purposes. A newspaper artichel, a rock song, a novel, a radio interview and a traditional fairy story are examples of authentic texts.
-Communicative Approaches: Approaches to language teaching which aim to help learners to develop communicative competence.
-Concordances: A list of authentic utterances each containing the same focused word or phrase. E.g. The bus driver still didn't have any change so he made me wait.
-Corpus: A bank of authentic texts collected in order to find out how language is actually used. Usually a corpus is restricted to a particular type of language use, for example, a corpus of newspaper English, a corpus of legal documents or a corpus of informal spoken English.
-Pedagogic task: A task which does not replicate a real world task but which is designed to facilitate the learning of language or skills which would be useful in a real world task. Completing one half of a dialogue, filling in the blanks in a story and working out the meaning of ten nonsense words from clues in a text would be examples of pedagogic tasks.
