The most common teaching tools and materials are textbooks. Textbooks have always had an enormous effect on the processes of learning as well as teaching a language in a well-defined educational environment. Textbooks have also made it possible to make the learning process firmly established. Textbooks on foreign language teaching have always been a source of reference. Therefore, textbooks have to be attentively and carefully prepared. Nowadays, textbooks on foreign language teaching have to be formatted, especially with their use of color, their educational, visual, cultural, linguistic and communicative contents adjusted according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages criteria and levels of student development.
