This study examines how junior high school English teachers evaluate the alignment between textbook design and national curriculum guidelines. Using a questionnaire survey, responses from 1,057 teachers were analyzed across two dimensions: material design and language learning. Results show that teachers generally hold positive views, with higher alignment in material design than in language learning. The alignment patterns showed “text and organization” rated higher than “learning tasks and assessment”, while “vocabulary and sentence structure” rated higher than “communicative functions”. Further analysis found no significant differences based on textbook versions, regions, or teaching experience. Teachers gave the highest alignment ratings to “text and organization” and “vocabulary and sentence structures”. The lowest ratings were for “learning tasks and assessment” and “communicative functions,” particularly in the area of metacognitive reflection, adaptive learning, and productive skills such as writing, speaking, and contextualized pronunciation. Based on the findings, the study offers two recommendations to improve textbook design. |
