• Multi-section courses • Syllabus/curriculum predetermined
• Textbook-driven • Vocabulary (+ skills) • grammar (x3) (+ skills) • Short film/reading/culture

Implications
• Textbook research and materials development • Corpus-based • Teacher training • Classroom discourse
• Different contexts • Effects of adaptations:
• What adaptations increase the communicative value of an activity? • What deletions increase the learning potential of a textbook? • E.g., Guerrettaz & Johnston (2013)

Summary • Research questions
1. What are the adaptations that TAs of Spanish L2 might use in their classroom? 2. How does textbook use shape curriculum delivery?
• Study • Observation of textbook’s use in the classroom; adaptations and
curriculum
• Implications • Textbook research Methods/contexts corpora • Teacher training Textbook use

Schulbüchern • (6) Lern-/Lehrkultur und Tradition als möglicher Einfluss
aus Unterrichtsprozesse • (Janík, Najvarová & Janík, 2014, p. 292)
