The use of texts in foreign language teaching

No matter how little experience in a profession, every foreign language teacher understands that effective teaching can be based on more than just using the selected book, regardless of the variety of topics it contains. Foreign language teaching is a process that involves the use of supplementary materials from its initial steps. These materials are developed, processed, and adapted as complementary resources to the textbook or even as substitutes for specific elements, especially when they do not meet the needs and requirements of students.

The majority of teaching materials include the texts used in foreign language instruction. Therefore, using texts as instructional materials and utilising them in the teaching process constitute the focus of this paper.
