The Coursebook as the Integrated Part of the Teaching Complex

Summary/Abstract: The paper considers some theoretical problems associated with the analysis of the coursebooks for teaching English for specific purposes. The author surveys scientific literature on the problem and the available coursebooks, stating that there are only a few good coursebooks for higher technical schools both in Lithuania and abroad. The author believes that the main shortcomings are as follows: 1) coursebooks are not adapted for higher technical schools methodically, psychologically and didactically; 2) they lack the required correlation between the varieties of linguistic activities; 3) teaching materials are not always based on statistical data and research. The aim of this present paper is to suggest effective methods of solving these problems. Practical recommendations concerning the preparation of quality coursebooks based on firm scientific principles for higher technical schools are presented.
