According to Curtain and Pezola who wrote the article Choosing a Textbook and other Printed Materials, selecting a textbook is an important task for the foreign language teacher at any level. Nevertheless, it is more difficult in the elementary school since there are few books to select from. For this reason, many of those schools develop a curriculum that does not depend on the use of a textbook, at least for one or two years. Although, others invested money to design materials for the whole school sequence. Based on that situation, publishers are producing materials to solve the problem.
On the other hand, at the middle school level they adapt the materials that are design for the high school, to use with the beginners. I believe institutions should include a space in teachers schedule in order to, use that time to design materials according to students level (tailor-made). This will give them the opportunity to focus on specific issues to give students useful and interesting information, base on real world situations.
