This document discusses different types of textbook evaluation: - Pre-use evaluation occurs before a book is used and examines potential performance. - In-use evaluation happens while a book is being used to monitor newly introduced or aging materials. - Post-use evaluation provides a retrospective assessment of a book's performance after it has been used. It also outlines factors to consider for external evaluation of a book's description and claims, and internal evaluation of how language skills, materials, and tests are presented. The overall evaluation examines a book's usability, general features, adaptability, and flexibility.
