| description |
The study aims at providing a potential answer to the question about the extent to which selected currently available ELTs for early school education in Poland and Lithuania allow developing pupils’ writing skills in English described in the most recent academic studies and official regulations at both European (e.g. the CEFR Volume Companion) and national level (e.g. the Core Curriculain the countries in question). The analysis of selected ELTs is performed with the use of a model created by the authors and based on the scientific background and the aforementioned documents. The study demonstrates changes that should be introduced to the content of the examined textbooks in order to make them possibly the most compliant with researchers’ stands and valid recommendations, for instance, (1) it would apparently be beneficial to diversify the types of writing activities included in the chosen ELTs, and (2) pupils could significantly benefit from introducing to the analysed textbooks more writing activities referring to their experience.
