AN EVALUATIVE LOOK AT AFGHAN LOWER SECONDARY EFL TEXTBOOKS

Abstract

This article reports the evaluation of three EFL textbooks which are used in Afghan lower secondary schools by employing a document analysis approach. Two evaluators took part in the study, where they independently evaluated the textbooks of grades 7-9. This study employed a 33-item checklist designed by the researchers, adopting or modifying items from three checklists in the existing literature. All the items were organized under six headings, namely, content, grammar, vocabulary, skills, exercises and activities, and attractiveness of the text and physical make-up. The evaluation of the textbooks highlighted a number of serious problems that deserve close attention. The study closes with a series of recommendations to guide EFL research in the Afghan context.
