Abstract

Articles

English teachers usually use some particular textbooks to teach the foreign language in Japan. This paper incorporates recent textbook research theory from the perspective of second language acquisition theory and English teaching method theory. The contents of a British English Learning Textbook (ELT) textbook (interchange 1 ) are compared based on the material design that aims to develop four English skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). In particular, whether to learn more from an ELT textbook, such as introducing "Experimental aspect" questions in the textbooks we use, is examined, focusing on the use of language n(situational features, authentic language), which develops communicative competence in general. The appropriate questions' forms to improve the four English skills are exemplified in this process.
