|b This study attempts to evaluate the EFL textbooks used for teaching/learning English in the Saudi intermediate schools. It is composed of two phases; a theoretical and an empirical evaluation. \\\\ At the theoretical level, the textbooks are evaluated according to criteria developed from literature related to materials evaluation. For the purpose of the empirical evaluation, a two-phase questionnaire is addressed to a sample of Saudi EFL teachers. The first phase investigates the extent to which the textbooks meet the four objectives of teaching English in the intermediate stage. The second phase of the questionnaire elicits teachers' attitudes towards some aspects relating to the design of the textbooks. \\\\ The findings of the study indicate that the first three objectives of the English curriculum are only slightly met by the textbooks, while objectives four does not seem to be met at all. Other findings indicate that learners' wants and autonomy need to be more emphasized. In addition, the grammar content seems to be quite dominant, whereas vocabulary content appears to be well presented. Furthermore, the findings show that listening, writing, and speaking skills merit further emphasis, while reading content seems to be enough. Topics are mainly derived from the local culture and need to be more interesting and motivating . moreover, the results of the study indicate that the textbooks contain no authentic materials. Finally, teachers' guides are reported as supportive and useful to some extent although they are neither available nor up to date. The accompanying teaching aids are strongly criticized for not being available
