Abstract
Discovering the attitudes of instructors concerning a textbook is an essential procedure for a proper evaluation of that book and the success of the teaching- learning process. Therefore, the current study has been conducted especially to evaluate an English language course being taught in colleges of Education in Tikrit University, particularly, College of Education for Humanities and College of Education for Pure Sciences. It is to figure out the views and attitudes of teachers concerning the English language textbook which is newly adopted for the Iraqi non-departmental students entitled: " New Headway(Plus) Upper-Intermediate, Student’s Book". A checklist is used as an instrument to collect the required data from a sample of ten EFL teachers who teach Headway in the two colleges. The obtained results show that the evaluated course book is acceptable from the teachers‟ views. However, a number of obstacles need to be treated in order to grasp higher EFL advantage for non-departmental students. The study ends with a number of conclusions and recommendations
