“…Under the growing popularity of negotiated syllabi among educators and researchers, a plethora of constructivism-led research studies has recently been conducted. For example, Nguyen (2017), through a mixed-method study and upon Vietnamese intermediate or advanced (despite mediocre or bad at speaking) Bachelor's English students, sought to realize the effect that adopting negotiated syllabus might have on learners' listening, speaking as well as motivation. This study found that students who thrived on the procedure were passionate about the course and approved the negotiation-based syllabus despite some obstacles.…”

“…The significant effect of the negotiated syllabus on learners' motivation (Rahmanpanah and Tajeddin, 2015), writing and speaking (e.g. Abbasian and Malardi, 2013;Nguyen, 2017), reading comprehension of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students (Peyvandi et al, 2019) is well established. Although the impact of negotiated syllabus on improving language learners' language achievement has been investigated quantitively, undergraduate language learners' (students) perceptions of the advantages of involving language learners in designing and developing language syllabi for undergraduate students at Iranian universities have not been well explored yet.…”

PurposeA couple of decades ago, the negotiated syllabus was introduced as an alternative to the predetermined syllabus. The review of the related studies shows the number of studies on the use of negotiated syllabus in English language teaching is scanty. The main purpose of the study was to explore the advantages/merits of employing negotiated syllabus in general English courses that undergraduate students take.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employed the phenomenology research method to deeply delve into the undergraduate students' perceptions of the advantages of the negotiated syllabus. The phenomenology method is used for investigating human lived experiences through the descriptions given by the people involved in the study. This qualitative research method is mainly used to study fields with little or no knowledge. The authors collected the data through in-depth interviews with the informants (18 students) who were selected through theoretical sampling. The informants were undergraduate students at Allameh Tabataba'i University who were selected through theoretical sampling. The authors listened to the recordings to transcribe the participants' statements and remarks verbatim. Then, we analyzed the interviews thematically through open, axial and selective coding. This study aimed at exploring the participants' perspectives on the advantages of the negotiated Syllabus. The study's main objective was to investigate the advantages/merits of employing negotiated Syllabus in undergraduate students' general English courses.FindingsFindings revealed that employing the negotiated syllabus resulted in many advantages which were reduced into three axial coding: psychological, pedagogical and individual. Generally, the negotiated syllabus reduces the students' anxiety, improves their motivation, affects their language achievement and develops their critical thinking and learner autonomy.Practical implicationsTeachers are recommended to minimize the constraints and use the negotiated syllabus to optimize language learners' motivation and language achievement in teaching English programs.Originality/valueThe impact of the negotiated syllabus on language learners has been investigated through quantitative research methods. However, the language learners' perceptions of the negotiated syllabus have not been well explored qualitatively.

“…Finding out what students require is associated with the beginning of outcome-and processfocused instruction in ESP (Nunan 1999(Nunan , 2003. ESP programs are created to cater to the needs of the students both now and in the future (Nguyen & Nguyen 2017).

Evaluation is a crucial step in the process of enhancing the quality of educational materials through the design of new content. The evaluation of textbooks in English Language Teaching can be conducted using a variety of techniques. Adapted from Cunningsworth and Kusel (1991) and Skierso (1991), this study utilized checklist instruments to determine whether or not a textbook is appropriate for use. This study provides an overview of ELT textbook evaluation, with a particular emphasis on the use of a checklist. It aimed to assess the suitability of a specific textbook for an ESP course for fashion design students. According to the findings of this study, 90 percent of respondents agree this book is excellent based on its general attributes and 93 percent agree based on its learning and teaching content. The presentation above suggests that this book can be used for ESP courses by fashion design students. However, the book does not come without any weaknesses, which include the absence of a book for teachers and the absence of pair and group exercises.
