Construction and Empirical Study of the Acceptability Index System of Primary School English Textbooks at Home and Abroad
At present,there are numerous versions of primary school English textbooks at home and abroad,providing more references for compilation and selection of English textbooks.Nevertheless,this also brings difficulties to users in selection.Therefore,based on the theories of Analytic Hierarchy Process and Post Occupancy Evaluation,researchers screened six dimensions and constructed 24 perspectives according to 63 scoring criteria and calculated indicator weights.This evaluation system was used to quantitatively evaluate representative primary school English textbooks from seven countries,analyzing the characteristics of each set of textbook.Based on this,it is proposed that the compilation of primary school English textbooks should advance with the times,start from the national background,strive for language authenticity,incorporate network technology,and balance academic and practical aspects.Developers should also expand supportive textbooks,integrate the functional and humanistic aspects of textbooks,and consider cultural adaptability when selecting textbooks from abroad.Regardless of which set of textbook to use,one must excel in the secondary development of textbooks to make the teaching resources more abundant and practical.
