El siguiente análisis bibliométrico busca revisar algunos de los trabajos realizados en el campo del material didáctico de la lengua inglesa, en concreto, sobre cómo los profesores de inglés adaptan, diseñan o evalúan sus materiales didácticos. Para evaluar la información, se implementó una rúbrica que compacta algunas características específicas con el fin de filtrar los documentos más adecuados que se encuentran en bases de datos como BASE, Oxford, Taylor & Francis Online, en revistas como Profile: Issues in Teachers’ professional Development, HOW y bibliotecas de universidades colombianas como Repositorio de tesis UTP. Por otro lado, los aspectos incluidos en los criterios están relacionados con el tipo de documentos analizados, el número mínimo de conceptos que estos contenían y el entorno en el que se realizaron los estudios. El propósito de esta monografía es revisar y exponer la información existente sobre la adaptación, el desarrollo y la evaluación de materiales en contextos de ELT, así como sus características, tipos y pautas; esta literatura puede ser útil para los educadores de inglés en su ejercicio de enseñanza.The following bibliometric analysis seeks to review some of the works made in the field of the English Language Teaching material, specifically, on how English teachers adapt, design or evaluate their teaching aids. To assess the information, a rubric that compacts some specific features was implemented in order to filter the most suitable documents found in databases like BASE, Oxford, Taylor & Francis Online, in journals such as Profile: Issues in teachers' professional Development, HOW, and libraries from Colombian universities such as Repositorio de tesis UTP. On the other hand, the aspects included in the criteria are related to the type of documents analyzed, the minimum number of concepts that these contain, and the setting in which the studies were carried. The purpose of this monograph is to review and report existing information on material adaptation, development, and evaluation in ELT contexts, as well as their features, types, and guidelines; this literature might be helpful for English educators in their teaching exercise.PregradoLicenciado(a) en Bilingüismo con Énfasis en InglésTable of Content Justification 10 Objectives 15 General Objective 15 Specific Objectives 15 Theoretical Framework 15 Conceptual Framework 15 Material Design 16 Considerations of Material Design 17 Types of Material Design 19 How to Design Material 20 Material Adaptation 22 Importance of Adapting Material in EFL Classes 22 How to Adapt Material in EFL Classes 24 Literature Review 27 Methodology 32 Type of Research 32 Type of Study 32 Context 32 Technique 32 Setting up the Premises 33 Searching for and Gathering Documents from Databases and Journals 34 Establishing Criteria for Filtering the Documents 38 Pilotage Process 39 Keywords for Doing the Search 40 Keywords to Consider from the Documents 40 Chapter 1 - Theoretical Foundations 42 Materials 42 Characteristics of Effective Materials 43 Types of Materials 44 Teaching Materials 45 Coursebooks 45 Authentic Material 46 Material Development 49 Limitations in Material Development 50 Material Adaptation 52 Limitations in Material Adaptation 53 Material Evaluation 54 Chapter 2: Practical Aspects 55 Material Development 55 Considerations for Developing Materials 55 Guidelines for Developing Materials 58 Material Adaptation 60 Considerations for Adapting Materials 60 Guidelines for Adapting Materials 61 Material Evaluation 64 Considerations and Criteria for Evaluating Materials 64 Guidelines for Evaluating Materials 66 Chapter 3: Culture and ELT Materials 69 Relevant Concepts 69 Types of Culture 70 Materials and Culture 71 Interculturality 72 Stereotypes 73 Problematic Aspects of Including Culture in ELT Materials 74 Stereotypes Predominance 75 Inner Circle 76 Challenges for Teachers 77 Benefits and Recommendations for the Inclusion of Culture in the ELT Materials 77 Benefits of Addressing Local and Foreign Cultures in ELT Materials 77 Recommendations to Include Culture in ELT Materials 78 Conclusions 82 Implications 88 Limitations 88 References 89
