4.6 Adapting

It was seen that teacher participants not only appropriated the curriculum materials but also adapted them in most cases while enacting the materials. Their adaptations mainly manifested in three activities, namely, adapting the original instruction of the materials without veering from the design intentions, adjusting the interaction mode and deviating from the design intentions.

4.6.1 Adapting the Instructions in Line with the Design Intentions

Even if teacher participants had similar pedagogical goals in enacting the same exercises, their instructions varied due to the adaptation of the original instructions. For instance, when enacting one lead-in activity in Unit 7 of Book 2 (see Table 4.8), Windy’s adapted instruction differed slightly from the given one, although her interpretation of the exercise was congruent with its original design.Table 4.8Exercise 1 in Unit 7 of Book 2
