Abstract
The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of intermediate level English language textbooks in developing productive language skills. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative analysis and qualitative inquiry were combined. A checklist was used as the research instrument to analyze the content of English textbooks for development of productive language skills. The evaluation involved examining pages, lessons, exercises and more with a team of experienced teachers ensuring consistency. The study identified deficiencies in writing activities, lack of diverse and challenging exercises, insufficient engagement and creativity in writing tasks. Limited opportunities for creative writing and inadequate speaking activities were also noted. The findings suggest a need for improvement in textbook content recommending diverse and challenging writing tasks, engaging and creative activities, enhancing opportunities for creative writing, improving writing tasks suitability, incorporating effective speaking activities and including activities for improving pronunciation and personalized feedback.
