The availability of instructional materials is essential to support teaching
and learning activity. In Indonesia, textbooks become the popular instructional
materials used in English Language Teaching (ELT). Unfortunately, textbooks are
sometimes developed for commercial purposes only. Further, the textbooks are not
always appropriate with the condition of the classroom. Thus, assessing textbooks
becomes necessary to be done to know their values. This study is intended to know
whether or not the materials in the textbook “Pathway to English” for the twelfth
grade students meet Tomlinson‟s (2011) principles. The researcher applies
qualitative content analysis as the research design. The findings show that the
materials in the textbook (especially chapter 9) meet the ten Tomlinson‟s (2011)
principles. Based on the findings, the textbook can be a useful source of learning
materials and help the students, especially EFL students, in learning English.
