This project outlines the specifications for the ideal coursebook designed collaboratively by a group of educational experts. The coursebook aims to meet institution objectives, enhance student engagement, promote critical thinking, and focus on real-life situations. It is multimedia-based, encourages a student-centered approach, and integrates study skills and strategies throughout. Tasks and activities are designed to promote collaboration, suit student profiles, and reflect authentic experiences, while texts are relevant to student interests, treat both local and global topics, and promote systematic vocabulary revision.
