Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the English for Economics textbook used for the first year students of Economics Faculty of Tanjungpura University in Indonesia. It tried to find out the extent to which unit of work reflects the task-based approach to language teaching. It also attempted to investigate relevance of materials to meet the learners’ needs and the goals of the programme in the target situations. The evaluation was conducted as this teacher-generated material has not yet been evaluated. One unit from the textbook was analysed based on Littlejohn’s (1998) framework. The findings indicated that the activities in the English for Economics textbook failed to provide adequate skills for learners to use the language in performing the task. Therefore, it is difficult for the materials to meet the learners’ needs and goals of the programme in the target situations.
