Abstract
The teaching language for specific purposes is a field with an intervention of continuous developments that are consistent with the needs of the learner, which are moving with developments in the field of specialty. This condition requires the textbooks used in the field to be in pace with the changes in industries of specialties. Among the best ways to determine this is by evaluating the textbook in several aspects. Although there have been many evaluation tools, the textbook evaluation is a subjective activity in which it has no specific checklist consisting standards of evaluation that can be applied to all educational contexts without modifications in order to conform to the learning culture and environment. Hence, this study aims to develop a checklist of items in order to evaluate the textbook of Arabic Language for Academic Purposes (AAP) among learners at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). This study will present a range of checklist items used in language for specific purposes (LSP) textbook evaluation. These items, then, are discussed and analyzed in terms of structures and practicality to the current educational environment based on the results of previous studies in the field. By then, the selection of appropriate items to evaluate the textbook is done.
