An evaluation checklist by Mukundan (2011) has been adapted for this purpose. The research is both quantitative and qualitative in its nature. The results revealed that these textbooks lack in various vital features even in basic skills. The obtained results show that these books need to be revised and this study has important implications for teachers and learners.
