An alternative evaluative approach for L2/FL composition textbooks. (Language Teaching & Learning).
Abstract
This article proposes an alternative approach for the evaluation of second/foreign language writing textbooks at all educational levels. First, theoretical and pedagogical foundations for this model are presented. The theoretical foundation is based on cognitive theories of learning and writing, while the pedagogical foundation incorporates these principles in a learner-centered teaching method referred to as Strategy-Based Instruction. Secondly, the proposed approach is described as an evaluation technique: A checklist. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are discussed.
