The Essential Features of the Coursebook for Teaching a Foreign Language

Abstract

On the basis of the facts mentioned in the article we can draw the following conclusions. The main chapters of the coursebook must contain a variety of exercises and texts. But not all types of language activities can be included. For example, understanding of the text by listening. However, the coursebook should have the system of exercises for developing skills and understanding other linguistic types. It is important to separate classwork exercises from homework exercises because they differ in their character and difficulty. Special texts in the coursebook should be included to help teach a spoken language. At first the coursebook should provide preparatory exercises, but later there should be texts for reading and speaking purposes.
