Introduction:

Que:- Take a text-book from 1980’s, compare it with a text-book published after 2000 at the same level, (For ex: - If you have chosen of std-8 text from 1980’s, you had to compare it with a std-8 text-book published after 2000). You do not need to compare the whole text-book but parts that you think are interesting. Give reasons why you choose this parts.

Introduction:-

The term “text-book” has a broad meaning. It plays a vital role for the teacher as well as for the learner. It is the main source of learning. Different people have different ideas about the text. But for me, it is a medium which is used as a standard work for the study of a subject. The main function of the text-book is to develop reading skill, writing skill and speaking also. It equips the learners with the actual learning.

Text-book is an illustration of syllabus. I am not sure but I can say that, in 1950 first text-book was formulated in Madras by Jean Forrester, which was based on structural approach and in 1970’s the first text-book based on functional approach was formulated in West Bengal. My main aim in this paper is to make comparative study of the text-book published before 1980’s and after 2000. For this purpose, I have chosen a text-book of std-8 published before1980 and after 2000. The old textbook is meant for the learners of lower level, it includes both the learners, while new text-book is meant for the learners who learn English as a second language.

As we discussed above, both the text-book have certain aspects which are needed to be compare. For this purpose, I have selected some parts which I think to be most important.
