1. Studies of English Textbook Evaluation

1.1 Studies Abroad

The evaluation of English textbooks abroad started relatively early and achieved rich results. Numerous scholars had come up with many significant textbook evaluation frameworks, and given detailed evaluation levels and corresponding comparison standards, which were of great value.
