The study applied textbook evaluation checklists adapted from Cunningsworth (2008); McGranth (2008); and Mukunda, Hajimohammadi & Nimehchisalem (2012) and written document analysis. The result shows that the textbook represents the criteria of good EFL textbook in terms of its suitability to the students’ needs, the organization of activities/tasks, the language, cultural values, and the content of teacher’s book.

The aforementioned findings lead to the conclusion that the textbook represents criteria of good EFL textbook and it is appropriate for the syllabus. Hence, it is recommended to use the book as a teaching resource. Key terms: EFL textbook, textbook evaluation.
