Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el contenido de ESL para verificar su idoneidad para desarrollar la competencia comunicativa de los alumnos. El studio utiliza un enfoque de análisis de contenido de "Inglés-2" (libro de texto para estudiantes de 2do grado en Punjab, Pakistán) con la ayuda de una lista de verificación diseñada sobre los principios de la enseñanza comunicativa de la lengua. Los resultados revelan que el contenido de Inglés-2 no se ajusta a los principios de esta enseñanza; por lo que, no es adecuado para facilitar el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa. El studio sugiere mejorar o revisar el libro de texto o reemplazarlo por otro adecuado.
