Abstract	Over the last two decades, there has been a growing trend in Saudi Arabia toward research on English language textbooks, such as Alamri (2008), Alenezi (2019), Al-harbi (2017), Aljouei and Alsuhaibani (2018), Al-Sowat (2012), and Alsulami (2021). The use of a Likert scale checklist approach to evaluate strong and weak points in L2 textbooks is a prominent feature of this trend. Teachers, administrators, supervisors, and/or students are inquired to complete a survey that includes a variety of questions, including language activities. However, such an approach has failed to address four major issues that hinder appropriate evaluation of writing activities in English textbooks. Thus, this study contributes to our understanding of how future studies should take current issues into account. (As Provided).
