English textbooks recommended for English curriculum reform. As for a textbook newly published, timely evaluation of SEFC 2003 is in need since it can provide some feedback that may be helpful for its revision and better implementation. There are some articles giving specific views by senior English teachers, but there is only a little formal study to evaluate and investigate SEFC 2003. So, the researcher of this thesis aims to make a case study of SEFC 2003 from the aspects of evaluation and investigation. 1.2 Purpose and Significance of the Study Purpose for material evaluation activities are many and varied (Cunningsworth, 2002:14). Generally speaking, there are three main purposes for textbook evaluation: 1) selecting a new textbook; 2) testing effectiveness of a textbook; 3) designing a textbook (Xia, 2003:145-149). The present study is expected to evaluate and investigate SEFC 2003, which has already been put into use for four years. In this case, the purpose of the present study belongs to the above second one, testing effectiveness of a textbook. To be more specific, the present study intends to identify particular strengths and weaknesses of SEFC 2003, and how well it is implemented in ELT, especially in Guilin. As for the significance of the present study, it can be drawn from three aspects. Firstly, the present study makes a case study of a textbook, which may be helpful for other studies in this field of textbook evaluation. Secondly, the present study tries to make an in-depth analysis of SEFC 2003, whose results can be considered as reference for the revision of SEFC. Thirdly, the present study makes an investigation of the SEFC 2003 users in this area, whose results are also of value for the revision of SEFC 2003 as well as its better implementation in
