Evaluating the Primary EFL Iraq Opportunities (Book 4)
Abstract
Evaluation and selection of a textbook is a complex process that is carried out in many different ways. In a few settings, teachers decide on the books that they want to use in their classes. Teachers of English as a foreign language (henceforth EFL) can often make individual decisions about the textbooks that they will use. With information from publishers and colleagues they select textbooks, have the books ordered through the campus bookstore, and then use then in their classes (Celce-Murcia, 2001: 415). To learn a foreign language is not a very easy task on the part of the learner. It requires careful monitoring and constant measurement of learners achievement on the part of the teacher in order to remedy any lack of progress. Therefore, we expect to see foreign language teachers engaged in some evaluation work of the results they get out of any test they give to their learners (Darwesh and AL-Jarah, 1988: 13).
