| Περίληψη: | Finding affordable textbooks is a challenge within many educational contexts, including English as a foreign language (EFL) settings and English as a second language (ESL) settings, such as universities and Intensive English Programs (often referred to as IEPs) in the United States. As educators, we know it is a struggle for many of our students to pay for both English language learning classes and expensive textbooks. Open Educational Resources (OERs) can alleviate this challenge by offering high-quality, free materials. This article outlines how to find and adapt OERs and discusses a specific example of remixing OERs for the language classroom. Our hope is that other educators will be inspired to create and adapt OERs and incorporate the materials into their own teaching contexts to better serve their student populations. |
