The use of textbooks as the primary source of foreign language teaching makes the selection of texts included in books important. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages also draws attention to the importance of texts in foreign language teaching and emphasizes that students should meet with a large number of texts. Because texts help develop not only reading skills but also speaking and writing skills. They also contribute to the vocabulary development of language learners and the recognition of the culture of the learned language as well as the acquisition of knowledge about the country/countries where the target language is spoken. Thus, for an efficient and effective foreign language course, the texts to be selected in textbooks need to comply with students’ level as well as with course goals and objectives. Literary genres, text authenticity and text theme are certainly the important criteria to be considered in the selection of texts included in textbooks
