2. Workbook Designers
There are some criteria that must be considered in designing workbook. Since the workbook will be spread throughout the schools. The workbook writers
should pay more attention in designing and editing the workbook. The wrong concept stated in the workbook can cause misunderstanding to the students.
3. Future Researchers
This research is a content analysis of an English workbook for the seventh graders. The aim of this research is to evaluate the workbook. The evaluation was
done by some checklists formulated by some experts. This research can be as an example for other researchers who are interested in the similar case. There are still
many more criteria proposed by the other experts that can be used to evaluate other workbooks. Moreover, it would be beneficial if future researchers examine how to
improve the unfulfilled criteria found in the workbook.
