Dear all
I am an English teacher who teaches in a junior high school . I just want to open up a discussion regarding the use of English text books, English Horizons and Focus, in Moroccon Junior High Schools. As far as I am concerned, I used Focus in my first year, but the inspector asked me to use English Horizons because that is the text book which is adopted in our district. I feel that English Horizons lacks organization and suitable texts to expose students to. Also, I feel that the pictures used in English Horizons are not suitable to the age group that is supposed to used the book. Having said that, I hope hat we will exchange views concerning these two text books to try to expose their strong and weak spots in order to learn from each other s experience. I hope to hear from you all.
All the best

use your own way forget about text book it is just a reference.both of them are bad .

You should use more than one book because one Moroccan book is not enough. This a useful website where you can find a lot of textbooks

You are not obliged to stick to a specific book evenf if students normally have the book which is chosen locally to go to from time to time. Of course, the scheduled items as far as grammar and vocabulary are concerned should be taught whatever your way or your own material is; this is important in order to provide similar and equal knowledge to all students
