Evaluating 'Super Goal' English Textbooks: Teachers' Views in Saudi Schools

Mansour Altamimi, Ibrahim Alluhaybi.


Abstract
The study examines six ELT textbook series under the name Super Goal that are currently used in Saudi Arabia for middle and secondary school levels. To evaluate the pedagogic effectiveness of the book series, Litz's evaluative checklist was applied for examination. The evaluation includes multiple aspects of pedagogical assessments including design and layout, activities, skills, language type, subject and content, and practical considerations. The sample of the study included 223 teachers that were randomly selected. A 7-Point Likert Scale was utilized for the evaluation. The outcome of the questionnaire revealed positive responses towards the new book series in terms of design and content. Additionally, the study showed that the books were well-received on sensitive topics such as gender and cultural appropriacy suggesting the reliability and strength of the new book series based on teachers’ perspectives.

Key words: Textbook evaluation, Textbook assessment, EFL instructors, Evaluation, EFL textbook
