Therefore, this study focused on evaluating the coursebook Nursing 1, Oxford University Press before it comes into use for nursing students at Quang Ninh Medical College. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the coursebook in terms of Audience, Aims, Content and Methodology from both teachers‟ and students‟ perspectives to make out how suitable the book is to nursing students at the college. The writer applied three major methods including document analysis, questionnaire and informal interview to carry out the research. The results of the study show that the coursebook is appropriate to be used for nursing students at the college although it has some drawbacks which can be adjusted through the process of adaptation by the teachers. iii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS EAP English for Academic Purposes EFL English as a Foreign Language ELT English Language Teaching EMP English for Medical Purposes EOP English for Occupational Purposes ESL English as Second Language ESP English for Special Purposes EVP English for Vocational Purposes GE General English QNMC Quang Ninh Medical College VESL Vocational English as a Second Language iv LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com LIST OF CHARTS, FIGURES AND TABLES Chart 1: Students‟ time of learning English Chart 2: Students‟ levels of English Chart 3: Learners‟ attitudes towards learning ESP Figure 1: Types of ESP (From Hutchinson and Waters, 1987) Figure 2: The evaluation model of Hutchinson and Waters (1987) Table 1: Students‟ and teachers‟ ranking of the purposes of learning ESP Table 2: Students‟ and teachers‟ requirement for the topics of the coursebook Table 3: Students‟ and teachers‟ requirement for grammar of the coursebook Table 4: Students‟ and teachers‟ requirement for vocabulary of the coursebook Table 5: Students‟ and teachers‟ requirement for skills of the coursebook Table 7: Students‟ and teachers‟ requirement for activities of the coursebook Table 6: Students‟ and teachers‟ requirement for the support of the coursebook v LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION . iii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS . iv LIST OF CHARTS, FIGURES AND TABLES .

Rationale ESP has had a relatively long time to mature. Since the early 1960's, ESP has grown to become one of the most prominent areas of EFL teaching today. The growth of ESP has also generated an increasing number of specialized textbooks. The importance of the textbook is undeniable since it determines the major part of classroom teaching and student learning. Although choosing a textbook is daunting, it has significant influence on students‟ ability to meet their language learning objectives and affects both the process of learning and outcomes. Nevertheless, as Swales (1980) states, textbooks, especially coursebooks, exhibit problems and extreme cases are examples of educational failure. Thus, to have a successful language teaching program, it is necessary to have good materials, and to make the most effective use of a textbook, it is necessary for teachers to carefully examine all aspects of the textbook and compare it against an assessment tool. The current ESP coursebook used at Quang Ninh Medical College (QNMC) was collected and edited from various sources. To some extent, its objectives meet teaching and learning‟s goals such as vocabulary and reading development. However, for communicative target in learning language, it does not meet teaching and learning requirements. It includes the texts, then the exercises, which contain only questions to improve reading comprehension and the same kind of questions for all 12 units, which gives students little interest in learning. There is no CD, no video, no suggested reference books or sources enclosed in this book. This material has been used at QNMC since 2011 and it appears to be uninteresting and unsuitable to the objectives of the course. Therefore, the writer of this study recommends a new coursebook Nursing 1, Oxford University Press that has received many positive comments from colleagues of other medical colleges. However, it is necessary to have overall evaluation on the coursebook before it comes into use so that 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com the teachers can assess its suitability to the students and adapt the coursebook for the highest effectiveness in teaching and learning. For those reasons, the topic “An evaluation of the coursebook "Nursing 1" and its suitability to the second-year nursing students at Quang Ninh Medical College” was chosen with the intention that a new but suitable and useful coursebook will be used to enhance the learning efficiency as well as stimulate students‟ interest in language learning. Aims of the study This study aims to evaluate the strengths and the weaknesses of the coursebook and its suitability to the objectives of the curriculum, content and methodology from both the teacher‟s and the nursing student‟s perspectives at Quang Ninh Medical College. Based on the evaluation results, possible ways for adaptation of the book are suggested so that it can be used for teaching and learning ESP in the most effective way at QNMC. What are the strengths and the weaknesses of the coursebook Nursing 1? 2. How suitable is the coursebook to the second-year nursing students at QNMC? 4. Scope of the study In coursebook evaluation, there are a great number of criteria that should be taken into consideration such as: the audience, the content, the methodology, the cultural bias, the layout, the authenticity, and so on. In this study, the criteria for evaluation were based on Hutchinson and Waters (1987) with focus on the four following criteria: audience, aims, content and methodology. 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.
