Abstract (2. Language):
Selection of materials for classroom use is a challenging task for English language teachers as they provide a
strong platform through which students learn English language. Presentation of developmentally appropriate,
relevant and engaging materials is, therefore, the prime responsibility of the material developers and the
teachers. Selection of the right materials makes teaching and learning a worthwhile activity and creates a
classroom environment which is efficient, effective and meaningful.
This paper will offer a critique of how textbooks for teaching English are prepared, prescribed and taught in
both the private and public schools of Pakistan. It will also discuss the appropriacy of these materials vis-à-vis
linguistic suitability, cultural aptness and interest level of students across primary level. The paper will suggest
important elements which must be kept in mind while designing and prescribing textbook materials for primary
schools. The paper will also provide guidelines to teachers of how to effectively teach textbook materials in
classrooms.
