1) Introduction School education is dependent on textbooks. There are some parameters to know the standard of education is strongly based on textbooks. Surprisingly to say that in our Pakistani society children spend their most of time in reading textbooks therefore they are deprived of creating new reforms. Further to say that textbooks are like platform where both teacher and students meet their possibilities what to teach or what to learn. The teaching requires an effective materials. Learners gets easy to catch things. Same way for teaching language, good material is important. Material development refers to all the processes made use of by practitioners who produce and/ or use material for language learning including material evaluation, their adaptation, design, production, exploitation and research. Ideally, all of these processes should interact in the making of language-learning. Good language teaching material should achieve impact on learners, help learner
develop confidence, provide relevant and useful content, expose learners
authentic use of language, provide opportunities for authentic language use, take
into account individual differences, encourage learner’s involvement.
After critically analyzing the material used in English
textbook I got following findings as outdated editions, less pedagogical practices,
non-visual vocabulary teaching, focusing on beliefs and faith rather than
knowledge, repetition of same events in different textbooks, narrow teaching
approaches and Material used as full of dogmatize, bias and demarcation against
fellow citizen. The findings also clearly show that Sindh textbooks as compare to
others don’t fulfil requirements of teaching English as second language at
secondary level but believe in grading.
Therefore I have modifiy the lesson three “Profession” from the tenth class published by Sindh textbooks board,where the Material evaluation is not remarkable for the learner to acquire and need based analysis because the purpose of such lesson is to teach language rather than information or history that’s whay it is very indespensible ot evaluate this lesson. According to my material adaptation I have delete some pragraphs, and exercises and modified the aunthentic material to be used which replace the actual text.
Adaptation and modifying the lesson.
Deletion: It is said that God writes His law on the hearts of men, and a teacher is one who can read what He writes on the human heart this message is a reflection God’s word found in scared writing as well as enshrined in the work of creation all of which come from the divine command.
Reason: This above text is highly literary and broader term. It is quite difficult even for fist year students in university and how students from 10th class can will get it.
Adding: Ghulam Ali Bhurirro is professor at department of English department in university of Sindh jamshoro. He works four days a week, both in morning and evening classes. He speaks many languages but English is native pronunciation.

REASONS
It is not according to the need of learners. In 10th level they can’t do active passive voice because it is
difficult at that level.
Teaching:
Fishing:
5) Evaluation. The good Good language teaching material, neglect
indoctrination and inspire towards education. And if it is material of
English teaching, it must focus on following areas: 1) lessons may
stimulates interest of students in the subject of English. 2) In
composition, exercises represents technical usages rather predicating
ways. 3) It may contains very simple words that students can
comprehend the passage as knowing process of reading comprehension.
4) The content should be as beautifully written as students could write
good paragraph including unity, order and variety. 5) Exercises must be
audio-visual aids that students could improve their language rather than
just marking the answer.
Conclusion
Thus, it is proved with Material evaluation that Sindh textbooks do not fulfill the requirements of secondary level students who need to learn English as a Second language, not as a subject.
Without good material learners will be less confidence, lack of interest, improper knowledge of communicative language skills. There is no space left for creativity of students but limited with certain exercises from textbooks. Age of 10th class students are young therefore pictorial as well interesting lessons should be added to enhance their skill of writing as well as reading with the help of visual vocabulary.
