Syllabus, communicative competence, culture, language learning.Abstract
This article presents the evaluation of the course book Enterprise 1, beginner. It accounts for the main contents of the first fourth units of this course book. Some aspects about course books' evaluation as availability, layout, accessibility, appropriacy, user definition among others are contrasted to the real content presented in the course book. I hope that this evaluation can help teachers interested in using this material to have an idea about the content and kind of activities that are involved in it.
