EVALUATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOL ENGLISH TEXTBOOK FOR CLASS TEN BEING USED IN PUNJAB

Abstract

Textbook analysis evaluates the efficacy and appropriateness of educational materials for teaching languages by gauging their instructional worth and influence on learning outcomes (1998, p.3). This article evaluated the content of the language textbook used in Punjab, Pakistan, for 10th grade. A unique checklist was created and utilized to evaluate the textbook with a primary emphasis on assessing the overall impression, content analysis, activities, and organizational structure. The findings provided valuable information about the characteristics and deficiencies of the course materials. The majority of the elements in the book meet the requirements outlined in the checklist. The general structure, content, and organization are well-developed in accordance with the standard pattern and established theories. Practically every aspect of language learning processes has been considered. There is a need for more content regarding the culture of the target language and target group, as well as a lack of emphasis on pronunciation and listening skills. This assessment provided suggestions for integrating the exercises on pronunciation and listening abilities.
