Research On The Redevelopment Of Primary School English Textbooks

Textbooks are the carrier of knowledge, and the teaching activities are heavily based on them. In every curriculum reform, textbooks have been playing an important role. With the full implementation of the Basic Education Curriculum Reform Outline, the leading position of "One Standard, one Textbooks" policy has been replaced by "One Standard, Multiple Textbooks" policy. Contemporaneously, the curriculum reform infuses new ideas into the curriculum and teaching, and the textbooks are not the only curriculum resources any more. And with the issue of the National Curriculum Standards, the status and function of textbooks are changed, and the requirement and suggestion of using textbooks flexibly and creatively are accepted by teachers gradually. Moreover, textbooks have unique characteristic which is universality, but the users of the textbooks are not the same, so the effect of using these textbooks are also different. And it is thought that the textbooks' effective using is determined by teachers'acceptance, comprehension and implementation of new curriculum concept.Based on my experience of being an English teacher in a primary school, this dissertation is mainly concentrated on how to redevelop primary school English textbooks.
