English Coursebooks, Scope, English TeachingAbstract
English coursebooks have been the most basic sources of English teaching in the modern age. There are a number of reasons that make these books so popular. First of all, the processes that start with the determination of the students’ levels continue with the preparation and presentation of materials suitable for their level. In addition, because the methodology and strategy that will be useful to teachers are presented in a certain way in the textbooks, they are very attractive for everyone. However, there are also criticisms of the textbooks. The effect of presenting the same design in all the units of the book “Scope”, which is discussed in this study, on the students is handled. Besides being educational and informative, this design has been found to be boring after a while for the students.
