Abstract

Teachers need to provide the learning resources to the students to enhance their knowledge and to show their performance depending on the quality of the learning content in the classroom. In this electronic era, teaching modules are designed by the teachers on their own for motivating students’ interactive learning. The innovative ways of designing materials pave the way for teacher development to a remarkable extent. The authors would explicate in this article on the language training materials designed by the target language teachers of her Institution, with the integration of ‘web resources’, their impact on students’ language performance’ reflections on designing materials.
