Abstract

Self-access learning often involves the use of authentic materials like newspapers and films. However, for students to fully benefit from such materials, language learning support materials are also needed. There are two main types of support materials: specific materials support the use of a single piece of authentic material; global materials support many pieces of authentic material. Each type serves a different purpose. This study focuses on the production of specific support material for video films at a Thai university. The materials design process involved several stages of piloting, feedback, and redesign. Although there are practical concerns, it is possible to develop specific support materials that motivate users and have a long shelf life.
