Abstract

High quality teaching materials, which will effectively integrate four major language learning skills, is critical in language learning. Material designers are practitioners who are well aware of the (non)effectiveness of various teaching methods and strategies. This paper aimed to study the types of exercises in young leaners’ language classes and skills focused on. The content analysis was done by examining the most frequently used student books from grade 1 to 4. The analysis has proven that the receptive skills are generally more focused on but the productive ones also receive attention even at the lowest grades. The usual stimulus for in-class tasks is a visual one, which is also used computer/tablet-ready additional learning material. The complexity level ranges from basic shorter output in the lower to more autonomous and real-like communicative situations in the higher grades.
