The Course Book in TESOL Teaching. The Role Of The Course Book in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

      Аннотация: Course books are often used as the main kind of material in ELT programmes. However, there is debate concerning the advantages and disadvantages of these; highlighting divergent views. Generally, teachers and students have little say concerning the course book they use; with decisions invariably taken by other stakeholders such as managers. Evaluation of course book material is, normally, done through checklist criteria. Recent studies, however, have looked at teacher and students` perspectives of course books; using metaphors to understand their views and how they may influence practice. This study looks at teachers and students attitudes and beliefs concerning ELT course books.
