ELT INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The knowledge base of teaching involves the ability to select, use, and design teaching materials. This knowledge is fundamental for successful instruction. There is an increasing number of studies investigating instructional materials development for English language teaching (ELT), thus providing an opportunity for a systematic review of how the development of ELT materials can affect English language teaching and learning (ELTL) and how the materials are developed. Therefore, this systematic review focuses on the theories and practices of instructional material development in ELTL. Recent studies published between 2018 and April 2023 on related topics identified in three databases were reviewed, analyzed, and synthesized. The Prisma method was used for the inclusion, exclusion, and extraction of the articles. A total of 16 articles were analyzed based on two criteria, namely the development of ELTL materials and the aspects affecting English language learning (ELL). The results suggest and assist in-service teachers in developing their ELTL materials grounded in theory.
