Abstract

Language teaching is a complex phenomenon involving a lot of factors including teachers, students, textbooks as well as appropriate learning and teaching strategies. The dimension of textbook evaluation seems to be frequently neglected in spite of its prime importance. Few teachers are really well-informed as how to choose suitable textbooks and how to evaluate them properly; moreover, literature on this topic is sparse. The most common view is that textbook evaluation is a matching process in which the students' needs and the available textbooks are compared in order to determine the degree of conformity between them. This paper attempts to convince language teachers to take a critical approach to textbook evaluation to make language teaching efficient and effective.
