Doing analysis and evaluation English materials in a text book needs some aspects such as the knowledge and ability to the theory and practices of language acquisition for foreign learners. Therefore, teachers should consider their modalities in this field. To make the process easier, I will give you some steps taken from Tomlinson's book about ENglish materials development: analysis and evaluation. If you find any English text book, you could do the following steps:
1. consider the age and level of the learners who will be using the materials;
2. how is the methodology used in the book. Does it fulfill the expectations of learners, teachers, and the educational culture?
3. how is about the grammar presentation in the text. Is it interesting for the learners?
4. do the grammatical areas connect with the meaning implications (if any) while implementing in spoken and / or written discourse;
5. does the grammar use represent the realistic use of language?
6. are the activities applied appropriate with the form and meaning of the grammar nature of the learners?
