Abstract

There is an interest from the teachers to improve the impact of teaching in English in the students. Teachers use different strategies to achieve this objective, one of them is to use a textbook to guide the teaching practice, but it is important to evaluate the impact and opinions of the textbooks used in English classes, a task that is often forgotten. This article evaluates the opinions and impact of textbook used in a public school and in students of ninth grade. To collect the information of this objective, it was applied a questionnaire to students and then the information was analyzed. A literature review about evaluating textbooks and their importance in the school is showed. The findings show that students see the use of a textbook very useful in their process of learning English. Advantages and disadvantages were found such as how useful the textbook is and economic problems to buy the textbook.
