An ideal textbook should provide learners with knowledge, language skills and information about English speaking countries, preparing them to interact with people from foreign countries of different backgrounds.

A good textbook does all the tough and tedious job a teacher would normally do in terms of lesson planning or designing specific extra teaching materials.

Top quality textbooks have to be written and designed by native-speaker teachers and published in English-speaking countries.

No effective or successful class can be taught without a textbook which is the only source of practical and firm guidance to the teacher.

Cultural bias found in books published abroad pose a minor problem and teachers should not turn their attention to ideological issues but to focus exclusively on more pressing problems of language.
