The most obvious and most common form of material support for language instruction comes through text books and teaching beginners is considered by many to be the most challenging level of language instruction. Textbooks evoke a variety of emotions in their users. No teacher is entirely satisfied with the text used, yet very few manage to teach without one. Especially, in EFL classes where the students have a limited exposure to the language, their proficiency growth is apparent in a matter of a few weeks, since the ultimate goal of all learning a language is to be able to comprehend and produce it in unrehearsed situations which demands both receptive and productive creativity, and the selection of an appropriate textbook becomes a crucial process.An important criterion for text selection for a beginning graduate program is that the texts somehow translated into the student's L1 would be comprehensible. There must be a good match between features and content of the text and the needs and competencies of the learner (Guthrie & Wigfield, 2000). If the author provides too much information there is a risk for the learner to become disinterested. If there is not enough information given to scaffold and fill in the blanks, the learner may make incorrect inferences, become frustrated and comprehension may suffer (Adams & Bruce, 1982; Bovair & Kieras, 1991; Gordon, 1992: Norris & Phillips, 1994).The pleasure that many learners experience when reading a whole text is an important factor to consider, since ideally, it creates the motivation to read more. Reading comprehension begins with the author (Adams & Bruce, 1982). Because texts are never completely explicit, the reader must rely on preexisting schemata to provide plausible interpretations. The author must anticipate the prior knowledge that the learner will bring to the text, and based on that knowledge he must fill in gaps, correct misinformation, and add new information so that the learner can grasp the intended meaning of the text (Just & Carpenter, 1987a).
