- Abstract
Some of the coursebooks used in foreign language courses in our country are global and imported while others are local coursebooks and written in Turkey. Global coursebooks, which are standardized and international, are exported to many countries that have different educational principles, teaching methods and cultural norms from the country in which they are prepared. By contrast, well-designed local coursebooks are books prepared considering the traditional teaching and learning habits, cultural norms and needs of the country in which they are written. The aim of this research is to determine the criteria to be considered in the local foreign language coursebooks that will be designed for the Turkish students by examining the opinions of foreign language teachers regarding the global and local coursebooks. Qualitative research method was used in this study. In the research conducted with foreign language teachers in the 2018-2019 academic year, data were collected by using an open-ended questionnaire. That data obtained through that questionnaire were analysed by the content analysis method. In accordance with the data obtained from the study, opinions of the foreign language teachers, who participated in the questionnaire, have been identified regarding the global and local coursebooks that are used in foreign language classes in Turkey. With these findings, it was revealed that a great majority of the participants found the current local foreign language coursebooks insufficient, and therefore used global coursebooks. Furthermore, the criteria to be considered in the development of local foreign language coursebooks for Turkish students have been determined.
