- 10. Guidelines for teacher-made materials Worksheets and workcards should: Be neat. Begin with short and clear instructions. Be clear and attractive to look at. Be clearly do-able by learners. (optionally) include a self-check facility.
- 11. Implications and considerations Worksheets and workcards are occasional and supplementary material. They provide what learners need in a specific point. Variety. Relevant and personalized. Answers to learners´ needs in a way no other materials can.
