Such research instruments as a questionnaire and an e-mail interview were conducted 20 teachers got involved in making responses to the research questions The acquired findings from teachers‟ views seemed to be relatively somewhat variable It is appeared that there existed more difference in the responses given by teachers to the questionnaire and interview questions when evaluating this ESP coursebook This may make readers feel a bit aware of an implicit thing that materials evaluation and materials development should be one of the core components of teacher education programs due to the fact that classroom teachers rarely read the professional literature iii

PART A: INTRODUCTION This chapter introduces the study with a focus on (1) The Rationale, (2) The Aims of the study, (3) The Significance of the study, (4) Methods of the study, (5) The Scope of the study, and (6)The Design of the study Rationale In theory or practice, ELT materials in general and coursebooks in particular seem to be identified as, on the one hand tool and tutor, on the other hand guidebook and gauge It is a fact that coursebooks regarded as the most useful teaching and learning materials offer considerable advantages for both students and teachers when they are being used in ESL/EFL classrooms Not only coursebooks provide a framework for teachers achieving the aims and objectives of the course, but they are also served as a guide to teachers when conducting lessons As for learners, a textbook truly affects their attitudes and performance to the lesson throughout the course It is evident that once when learners are fond of their textbooks, will they enjoy the course as well and turn into active participants to the lesson Therefore, they may be considered “the visible heart of any ELT program”, Sheldon (1988:237) Needless to say, it is obvious that Vietnam is rated as not an exception which means coursebooks are seen as a staple in almost every EFL class in the Vietnamese context In current hi-technology society, regardless of the exponential increase in computer-assisted language approaches in various forms, like search engines, the role of coursebooks in ESL/EFL classrooms remains unchangeable; however, it is rather difficult to possibly guess their position in the upcoming time This is to say, if both learners and teachers showed a total disregard for coursebooks, there could exist a high possibility that they would disappear Accordingly, it is

3.3 Comparison of Questionnaire and Interview Data Given the things acquired from the questionnaire and interview data as stated above, it may be partly recognized that readers experienced relatively numerous differences in the involved teachers‟ evaluation of the ESP coursebook In this paper, on the one hand, there recorded only a few similarities in the conceptions of the involved participants that the ESP coursebook is likely to achieve the course objectives (e.g its possession of a great number of specialized English vocabularies and knowledge of law and police with a variety of themes and contents), to satisfy learners‟ learning needs and to be appropriate to teaching context On the other hand, readers witnessed many responses given by the teachers to almost all of their answers that seemed really quite differential Apparently, the questionnaire referred to relatively comprehensive aspects, whereas their replies to the interview questions were more specific and more detailed Nonetheless, given the overall outlook from teachers‟ evaluation, this ESP coursebook really considered a good learning material with its receipt of more positive feedback has surpassed the raised negative evaluations 45

PART C: CONCLUSION It is widely held that evaluation in general and materials evaluation in particular is of very important in language teaching In order to know if any materials are really seen as reasonable or evaluable sources, materials evaluation is quite necessary and indispensable Given the pressing importance of materials evaluation, this study contributed as a referential source was carried out with an intent to identify what teachers thought of the applied ESP coursebook “English for Law Enforcement” To be more specific, it is essential to give clear answers to two research questions: (1) To what extent teachers differ in their evaluation of the textbook? and (2) What are the opinions of teachers about their evaluation of the textbook? Obviously, the previous chapter provides a detailed picture of actual responses to the above-mentioned research questions Summary of the findings When it comes to the obtained findings by way of questionnaire, it may be concluded that the ESP coursebook has been evaluated as a source of “Good” or even “Very good” learning materials The most striking feature which makes a strong impression on teachers is that the ESP coursebook is likely to achieve the course objectives (e.g supplying a great number of professional vocabularies and structures that are really essential for their upcoming job) The following characteristics highly appreciated by the involved teachers consist of (i) providing good opportunities for creative use of English and for discoveries about how English is used, (ii) providing achievable challenges to learners and exposure to English in authentic use, (iii) satisfying learners‟ learning needs and (iv) being appropriate to teaching context Beside those good evaluations, it can be still recognized that the ESP coursebook has been actually unable to help learners take advantage of the opportunities for their out-of-class autonomous learning as well as increase their exposure to English meaningfully Through the questionnaire data, the possible answer for the first research question is that readers witnessed the 46

involved teachers‟ different selections to every self-evaluation criterion on the basis of the 5-point Likert scale According to the attained findings via e-mail interviews, it can be recognized that almost all of the participants have highlighted their good evaluation when discussing the applied ESP coursebook The core reason for this is that it refers to main contents concerning laws and police (specifically its possession of a great number of specialized English vocabularies and knowledge of law and police with a variety of themes and contents) that is in accordance with students‟ major In a sense, it may be also rated as an evaluable source which is home to specialized information and knowledge in connection with many practical contexts and students‟ qualifications and needs Apart from their strong perspectives, some minor limitations/weaknesses or inappropriate characteristics were recorded Simultaneously, a number of recommended measures were taken to overcome those shortcomings and deal with inappropriate characteristics Typically, the principal downside is that most contents (e.g terminologies or knowledge regarding laws and police) are centered upon the rules and regulations of foreign laws (primarily American laws), which are not often applied in Vietnam The best way to solve this matter is that more additional tasks or activities happening in Vietnam-based real situations or contexts associated with the laws of Vietnam should be prepared or designed by teachers Nonetheless, given the overall outlook from teachers‟ evaluation, the ESP coursebook really considered a good learning material with its receipt of more positive feedback Accordingly, the analysis of the acquired interview data made a partial contribution to support readers of finding out the possible answer to the second research question On the one hand, in brief, with two these research instruments, clear answers to the said questions are given that partially contributes to readers‟ further understanding of evaluation criteria and methods of evaluation to be applied to this study On the other hand, the very noticeable thing as recognized through this study refers to factual assumptions of strengths and weaknesses recorded from the work 47

of teachers‟ coursebook evaluation The acknowledged strengths are that all the participants are acted as English teachers who have undergone at least one-year teaching experience with this ESP coursebook at the PPA and have had fundamental knowledge or understanding of the specialized domains regarding laws and police To a certain extent, it is such strengths that made participants give a little bit positively similar reaction to questionnaire and interview questions The remarkable example for this is that the majority of the participants agreed on the idea that the ESP coursebook seems quite suitable for their students‟ major with the main reason that it refers to the contents (e.g vocabulary or knowledge) regarding laws and police By contrast, it appears that the findings revealed an evident fact that every teacher offered their different views on many aspects in the process of the evaluation This leads to the clear result that the data collected from most of the participants sounded somewhat or even very variable and a little bit coincident The prominent evidence for this assumption is that the many various answers were provided sometimes with or even without equivalence when being asked for the same criteria or interview question It is regarded as one of the major reasons why the researcher had trouble in synthesizing and comparing acquired data for an eventual purpose of the assistance of probably successful analysis Consequently, the researcher found it hard to come to specific or exact conclusions to the honest thinking of such participants about this ESP coursebook Accordingly, maybe it is because of this reason that makes you realize that the acquired findings from teachers‟ views seemed to be relatively somewhat variable It is appeared that there existed differences in the responses given by teachers to questionnaires and interview questions when evaluating this ESP coursebook The potential cause for this unexpected status may be due to the fact that the participants have been lacking in practical experience, knowledge or competence in coursebook evaluation Furthermore, in order to succeed in getting teachers‟ real perceptions, it can be recommended that teachers ought to actively have much access to extensive readings concerning coursebook evaluation from a wide range of evaluable and 48

reliable sources (like articles or studies officially released on TESOL or Asian EFL Journals) with an intent to enhance knowledge of coursebook evaluation Also, it is necessary to request teachers to participate in full-time or short-time workshops or conferences nationwide and worldwide with a view to perceiving the practical sharing or experience from the whole stakeholders The other good thing is that it will be a wonderful opportunity for teachers to upgrade their competence in coursebook evaluation by means of their involvement in short-time or even longtime course in coursebook evaluation Implications for teacher education There seems little doubt that much of what has been written about the role of textbooks and materials, the selection and evaluation of the materials has not been read by classroom teachers Crookes and Arakaki (1999) conclude their small-scale study of teachers in the United States that “those privileged to be impositions in which they can investigate the extent to which they have grounds for optimism concerning the uptake of their work among the population it is presumably intended to benefit” might find it enlightening to undertake such research” (p 8) If it is the case that classroom teachers rarely read the professional literature, the findings of this study strengthens the argument that materials evaluation and materials development should be one of the core components of teacher education programs Apart from the forgoing things, a number of suggestions as stated below that will need to be further studied in the upcoming time Suggestions for further study In modern society, materials evaluation is generally an interesting research domain that contains a wide range of various aspects in different backgrounds to be discovered or further studied It is evident that the aspect to be studied herein is regarded as a typical example of such domain The things stated in this thesis may be used as a referential source to make better modifications or even gauge other relevant coursebooks in different contexts in the approaching phases Nevertheless, there have existed a number of limitations in this study to be tackled later The 49

typical examples consist of limited numbers of participants, participants‟ limited practical teaching experience with this ESP coursebook and participants‟ lack of knowledge or experience in coursebook evaluation Therefore, further studies on teachers‟ evaluation of coursebooks (e.g teachers‟ evaluation of this ESP coursebook in a further stage by way of better techniques of in-depth analysis or even expansion of evaluation subjects or scopes) will hopefully be made to have an in-depth analysis or acquire better evaluation of materials and especially have teacher development regarding coursebook evaluation Based on the acquired findings of the future studies, teachers will be able to exploit the textbooks and learning materials effectively for their students‟ learning The understandings of teachers‟ evaluation of textbooks will contribute to both pre-service and in-service teacher education 50

APPENDIX A: Evaluation Questionnaire The People’s Police Academy Department of Foreign Languages TEACHERS’ EVALUATION OF THE TEXTBOOK: THE CASE OF “ENGLISH FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT” TEXTBOOK AT A POLICE SCHOOL IN VIETNAM QUESTIONNAIRE Dear Colleagues, First of all, I would like to convey my best regards to you and your esteemed Department By this writing, I would be kindly grateful if I could ask for your assistance on the following matter As far as you are concerned, I am now in the process of collecting data served for my on-going dissertation, named “Teachers’ evaluation of the textbook: The case of “English for Law Enforcement” textbook at a Police School in Vietnam” One of the most important research instruments I opted for is the utilization of an evaluation checklist in the form of a Questionnaire designed for only teachers This questionnaire, which is constructed to acknowledge teachers‟ evaluation of the ESP course book (called “English for Law Enforcement”), consists of a number of queries as listed below to be responded from your side Your assistance is, therefore, of very significance in the fulfillment of my dissertation as scheduled This is to say, I would be very pleased if you could express your willingness to spend some of your evaluable time making responses to such queries based on my specific instructions herein To begin with, you will have to make your reply to some personal particulars: Gender: male □ female □ Teaching experience: years Next, you will be required to have a careful look at the queries and then make your decisive choice for each item by placing “X or √” onto one of the ordinal numbers within 1-5 It is noted that each ordinal number shows different evaluation rates, as specifically follows: (Excellent = 1, Very good = 2, Good = 3, Not very good = 4, Not good = 5) And another notable thing is that you are suggested to give your comments of or support particular examples for such response Failure for this, there is a highly likelihood that I will be able to get trouble in analyzing data, consequently leading to achieving inaccurate or untrue results Accordingly, your honest reaction towards the queries will be highly appreciated To sum up, I would kindly express my profound thanks for your kind assistance and cooperation on this matter I

(Thầy, có năm kinh nghiệm giảng dạy sách này?) Can you please tell me a bit about its advantages? What about limitations/weaknesses and inappropriate characteristics? (Cuốn sách thầy cô sử dụng có ưu điểm gì? Những hạn chế gì? Những khơng phù hợp?) Could you give me a number of recommendations of necessary modifications or amendments to enhance those limitations or inappropriate characteristics if you would not mind? (Cuốn sách thầy, sử dụng có cần sửa đổi bổ sung thêm nhằm cải thiện hạn chế khơng phù hợp đó? Please, let me know to what extent it can help teachers upgrade teaching skills or competences? Could you please give me some supporting examples? (Cuốn sách giúp thầy cô nâng cao kỹ giảng dạy mức độ nào? Xin cho ví dụ cụ thể?)
