Analysis of a Textbook: Family and Friends 4

Below is the document I uploaded on ISSUU, Analysis of a Textbook: Family & Friends 4. This magazine includes an analysis of the textbook Family & Friends 4, regarding whether it is a global or local texbook, with theory supported by López Barrios- Villanueva texts: "Minding the Needs of the Argentine Learner: Global Textbooks and their Adapted Versions for the Local Context" (2006), and "Global vs. Local: Does it Matter?". Following is the analysis of a unit in the textbook regarding the visuals used, and what functions they have. For this, we used "The visual element in the EFL coursebooks" by Hill, D. (2003). I then analyzed the textbook's website, deciding whether it was a companion website or a promotional one, based on theory from Reagan, N. & Murray, O. (2203) ESL/EFL Textbook Companion Websites. TESOL Journal, 11(3), 49:52 Finally, I chose one of the units in the textbook and adapted the lesson plan using technology.
