This article discusses the use of teacher-generated biographical material as a vehicle for introducing culture-based content into the classroom. The use of teacher-generated material is important, because whilst learners may wish for more cultural content, they do not always want to deal with the kind of 'issues based' topics which typify many coursebooks, preferring instead to experience the L2 culture(s) in more accessible ways. Teacher-generated biography can provide precisely the accessibility that learners need, and through the personal life experiences, past and present, of the teacher, they can access numerous sociocultural themes at 'first hand'. This implies a new and perhaps novel role for the teacher as the producer and resource of input material, but it also implies new roles for learners, as active participants in materials development via co-operative selection/development of material. The rationale behind the concept of teacher-generated biography is described here with reference to adult General English students in Japan.
