Resumen:
Textbooks for foreign language teaching reflect a certain methodological approach  shown in features that are characteristic of the different trends in language teaching. Authors base the design of textbooks on the findings of linguistics and  learning theories as well as on pedagogic principles. In addition, there are a number of socio-political factors that have an impact on the design of materials to be implemented in a certain context. This paper will present the findings of a research in progress on textbooks produced in Argentina.
