Evaluating english teaching material (pilot book) for grade 10 at tran nguyen han high school in vung tau master of tesol

Abstract Textbooks are required in the majority of language programs In the case of English as a foreign language, it may be the learner's primary and possibly only source of language input, as well as the foundation for both inside and outside the classroom language practice Despite their importance, textbooks are not always well-designed, curriculum-consistent, and closely connected with the goals of the teaching program and the needs of the students As a result, textbooks must be properly scrutinized and selected before being used in language classes The evaluation of textbooks aids administrators and teachers in deciding which resources are most appropriate for a certain course It also assists in determining a textbook's strengths and weaknesses This information will be useful to teachers as they rewrite textbooks and plan for the following course This thesis was written for the goal of completing the E10 (P.B) evaluation, specifically in the context of teaching English at Tran Nguyen Han High School in Vung Tau, Ba Ria-Vung Tau This thesis aims to assess the official English textbooks used by teachers and students at Vung Tau's Tran Nguyen Han High School Document analysis, questionnaires, and interviews were used to collect and evaluate data and information, as well as figures, all of which are based on the textbook assessment theoretical framework This thesis looks at the benefits, drawbacks, and limitations of using textbooks A survey questionnaire was created utilizing a combination of evaluative checklists and informal interactions with respondents as the study's research instruments The results of the survey show that the participants had a high level of agreement on the applicability of the book There are also some options for dealing with these issues Error!

No text of specified style in document vii These are the researcher's recommendations and expectations, as well as those of the teachers and students who took part in the study Hopefully, these suggestions will be adopted soon for better E10 (P.B) deployment, and will become popular and available to people in the future for teaching and learning the textbook in schools and across the country 5.2 LIMITATIONS AND SUGGESTION FOR FURTHER STUDY 5.2.1 Limitations Even if I tried my hardest during the research process, the researcher is aware that there are some limitations to the research that are unavoidable First, because the researcher is an insider, the observations may be subjective to some extent, despite my best efforts to perform the most objective study feasible Second, the study did not assess the students' English abilities prior to their study of this specific material Third, due to the scope of the study, not all possible standards for evaluating a teaching material are included In this study, the researcher concentrates primarily on four factors: audience, objective, technique, and document content As a result, it is envisaged that various distinct methods of material evaluation will be used to aid in the collecting of more specific results for this material assessment 5.2.2 Suggestion for Further Study Different studies should concentrate on other criteria because the researcher in this study did not use the textbook evaluation to obtain more specific results for evaluating this material The study's scope should be broadened to include other high schools in other Vietnamese regions with large populations of instructors and pupils Chapter Recommendation and Conclusion 83 5.3 CONCLUSION The current research looks at the context of English language teaching and learning in a specific learning and teaching setting at Vung Tau's Tran Nguyen Han high school Because the textbook "E10" (P.B) is now officially used across Vietnam, it would be tremendously advantageous if the research review could be expanded to high schools in additional districts or provinces in Vietnam with substantial populations of students and teachers No one can deny the importance of textbook evaluation in language acquisition and education Through textbook evaluation, each college or institution can select the most relevant materials for students, teaching, and learning conditions Additionally, textbook assessments are conducted in order to discover material strengths and defects in order to improve the applicability and efficacy of materials Based on the findings of the examination, the agency can decide whether to replace the current material with a more suitable type or to adapt existing materials The findings of the study reveal that the textbook meets both the curriculum's aims as well as the goals of teachers and students teaching and studying English in grade 10 The material's goal is to provide students with new vocabulary, either expert terminology related to their major or more appropriate grammatical understanding All of the themes are intriguing and relevant to the diverse interests of students Furthermore, the textbook's goal is to strengthen students' English skills in a very practical way Especially, about Listening skills, students can understand information they have heard about a number of topics In terms of Speaking, students can ask and answer questions on familiar topics In terms of Reading, students can comprehend and understand the main content and detailed information in the text within 150 words and about 84 Chapter Recommendation and Conclusion Writing, students can write a short paragraph with a length of 120 words about familiar topics Based on these findings, it may be stated that the material under review is appropriate for pupils at Tran Nguyen Han High School However, there is a flaw in the book that needs to be addressed: some of the lessons require more than 45 minutes of practice time Because there isn't enough time to complete all of the lessons' tasks, there is a need for improvement Some changes in terms of the linguistic aspect and duration of a number of units should be made to make material more relevant to students' English competence and accomplish the course goals As a result, the researcher has sought to give some recommendations in order to improve the appropriateness and efficiency of the material The findings of the study, according to the researcher, will provide a solid foundation for further research into specific aspects of the material at Tran Nguyen Han high school, as well as attempts to create a new and evolved syllabus – the kit for the benefit of all Tran Nguyen Han high school students Chapter Recommendation and Conclusion 85
