Abstract
This study aimed to explore how teachers perceived the use of English textbooks, including problems teachers raised about using them. The participants consisted of six teachers of English in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Rengel, Tuban. Through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, it was found that the pro-textbook teachers believed that without textbooks teaching could not be conducted effectively. Some of them revealed that textbooks should go hand in hand with supplementary teaching materials to serve learners' needs. On the contrary, the anti-textbook teachers believed that the use of English textbooks was wasting time. The teachers also reflected on direct and indirect problems which affected the use of English textbooks.
