However, choosing a suitable textbook for their teaching situation is deemed to be one of the most challenging tasks that EFL teachers often face. To get a good picture of the suitability of a textbook, a careful investigation needs tobe undertaken. This study focused on the analysis and evaluation of two different English textbooks addressed to junior high schools grade VII in Indonesia, KTSP and curriculum 2013 textbook. Harmer’s (2007) framework was employed to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of each textbook. The analysis revealed that both textbooks are quite satisfactory as they are very affordable, contain interesting layout, attractive designs, and clear instructions, correspond to current ELT methodology, cover all language skills, and comprise a wide range of topics which are familiar and culturally appropriate for learners. Nonetheless, the KTSP textbook does not have add-ons and extra materials; meanwhile, curriculum 2013 textbook is weak in providing authentic listening materials. Therefore, although the teachers manage to use the textbooks as their core materials, they are supposed to make adjustment and supplement them with other materials according to their learners’needs and their teaching context. |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nAn instructional material in teaching becomes one ofthe important factors that will determine the success of learning. It is defined as anything used by teachers to promote learning for students (Cakir, 2015) . Richards (2002) furthermore states that instructional materials are usually provided as the basis for much of the language input that the learners receive and the language practice that occurs in the classroom. In other words, instructional materials are presented to assist the teachers in teaching and learning process. Brown (2001) asserts that the most supportive materials for ELT is textbook. It is safe to say that materials for teaching and learning process in the classroom are mostly found in course book. Many performance activities and the language instructions can also be encountered in course book. Therefore, it is considered an essential component of any EFL program.  \nHowever, choosing a suitable textbook for their teaching situation is deemed to be one of the most challenging tasks that EFL teachers often face. Conducting textbook  \nbased teaching requires full understanding of the textbookselected as it may have both advantages and drawbacks. Altay (2013) claims that course book can only be effective as long as it increases students’ proficiency in foreign language, stimulates teachers to use it in such a good way, and gives the learners the chance of improving their capabilities of conducting a successful interaction with their friends and teachers.
