Evaluation of the Iranian Eleventh Grade High School English Textbook (Vision II) from EFL Teachers Perspective

This study aimed at evaluating the English textbook taught at Iranian high schools for the eleventh grade. To do the research, 30 female and male high school teachers who taught the eleventh grade high school English text book in Masjed Solayman, Khuzestan were selected to participate in this study. The participants were selected from different high schools such as Pardis and Sina high schools in Masjed Solayman. Having selected the teachers, they were asked to complete a textbook evaluation questionnaire. Having filled out the questionnaire by the teachers, raw data were collected and they were analyzed by running SPSS software in order to analyze the teachers’ responses to each of the items of the questionnaire. Obtained results revealed that the content and the shape of the textbook were appropriate for the eleventh grade high school students. In addition, the objectives of the textbook did correspond to the objectives of the English teaching program in the eleventh grade high school. On the other hand, the teaching aids of the textbook did not correspond to the objectives of the English teaching program in the eleventh grade high school.
