Then, we say the aims of the study and the research questions, these are like the way we go through the research. Next, we explore the scope and the methods of the study, and at last, we design the form that we will do during conducting to work on this thesis. Rationale of the study In this thesis, we will look at the textbook which aims to suggest, to the teacher, ways of going about the task of materials evaluation. Generally, the textbook evaluation is so necessary for us as the teachers, because it can give us the chance to know whether the textbook we used is good enough for teaching and learning or whether it can be adapted something.
