Produktbeschreibung
English language teaching materials (textbooks) play
a very important role in many language classrooms,
but recently there have been a lot of debate
throughout the English language teaching profession
based on the actual role of materials used for
teaching English as a foreign language. Arguments
have encompassed both the potential and the
limitations of materials used for guiding students
through the learning processes and curriculum as
well as the needs and preferences of teachers who
are using the textbooks that are available. Other
issues that have arisen in recent years include
textbook design and practicality, methodological
validity, the role of textbooks in innovation, the
authenticity of materials in terms of their
representation of language, communicative textbooks,
and balance in presenting the language skills as
well as cultural components.
The purpose of this book is to report the findings
on a study carried out in 2006 into how Iranian
textbooks could be made more communicative. The
textbooks referred to are three English language
textbooks which are currently used in Iranian
Secondary Schools.
