Abstract
Owing to the rising needs of English language for communication at a global level, experts have stressed the significance of teaching English supported by materials based on communicative language teaching (CLT) principles to facilitate the development of communicative competence. This study, therefore, aims to evaluate ESL teaching materials to check their suitability to develop learners' communicative competence. The study, for this purpose, employs content analysis approach for the analysis of text of English designed for class two in the light of a checklist devised on CLT principles. The results reveal that the content of the said textbook does not conform to the CLT principles. Therefore, it is not suitable to facilitate the development of communicative competence in the learners. The study suggests either to improve/revise the textbook or to replace it by another suitable one.
