However, they may have some lacking points in terms of implementation. EFL teachers’ opinions are crucial in that point. Taking this into account, the current study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of the textbooks used at MONE from teachers’ view. 102 EFL teachers from 7 regions of Turkey are targeted for the data collection. The participants involved are working in primary, secondary and high schools all over Turkey. The data are collected in 2 months in Covid-19 days. The data collection instrument is a five-point likert scale teacher questionnaire. Hence, this study is a quantitative one for which the data obtained are analyzed through SPSS. One sample T-tests, Pearson Correlation Statistics and Descriptive Statistics are utilized in this study. This study reveals that English textbooks are inadequate in terms of layout, design, activities and skills. On the other hand, the teachers find subject, content and language type used in the textbooks appropriate. Most of the teachers are of the opinion that the textbooks are easily adaptable. Nevertheless, the teachers are knowledgeable enough for overcoming the deficiencies and applying the best method for their students regardless of the textbook. Further studies could be conducted by interviewing with the teachers about the drawbacks found in textbooks.}, number={5}, publisher={Kastamonu University}
