Textbooks. They can provide you with a foundation when teaching a new course, structure for lesson planning, and ideas for supporting activities. But you may have also felt bound by them at one point or another. In today’s episode, I’m answering four questions I’m often asked when it comes to using ELT textbooks:

1. How is it possible for me to get through all of this? 
2. Do I need to cover everything, or can I pick and choose what to use? 
3. How do I know what I should use? 
4. Do I have to use the textbook? 

The answers lead to considering the purpose of textbooks and, finally, to helping you figure out if using textbooks in your English language courses is a hindrance or help.
