Tóm tắt

Cunningsworth (1995) states that it is important to evaluate the coursebook to figure out its weaknesses to improve them. Many researchers and teachers of English are also aware of the significance of coursebook evaluation. The study conducted here is to investigate the merits and demerits of the coursebook  American English File Multipack 2A & 2B by Clive Oxenden, Christina Latham-Koenig, and Paul Seligson published by Oxford University Press after nine months’ use in Ho Chi Minh City University of Education for first year non-majored students. A checklist delivered to 14 teachers and 103 students, and an interview of 2 teachers are to get the data. Based on the data collected, the authors produce full analysis and make recommendations for better and more effective teaching and learning of English with the coursebook.
