Abstract
Course books used in EFL classes are one of the most important decisions a school of foreign languages will make in designing their concept of language teaching and learning. It means the method will be used and it is the purpose of learning a foreign language and the aspect of the curriculum. Do the course books fulfil the expectations in language learning? What are the limits of course books? Are the presentations of the skills in the course books satisfactory? All these questions are prepared and analyzed in this paper and the course book (series titled 'English for life' by Oxford University Press) is evaluated from the language teachers' perspective. The course books as a core material in EFL classes need to be designed and placed in language education when we are aware of the goals must be achieved in language teaching and learning. Course book should be accompanied by supplementary digital materials, which serve a self-autonomy for the learners encouraging their efforts and self-esteem to learn a foreign language beyond classroom. Surely, the course books should have i-tools availed for class teaching to attract the attention and not to fall behind in age of technology.
