Most courses make use of material — literature, websites, tutorials etc. — which covers the content of the course. You have identified both the Content-Obligatory Language and most parts of the Content-Compatible Language and you know the Language Status Quo of the students’ language levels. You now want to start to look for the material.
Available material often differs in both language levels and comprehensibility, and can be too difficult or too easy for students. Both cases will lead to problems during the course.
Therefore: select comprehensible course input that explains the subject matter in a way that matches students’ language levels and interests.
