| dc.description.abstract | The current study aimed to analyze the content of the Cambridge Global English textbook for the seventh grade in terms of the extent of including the skills of the 21st century and assess its effectiveness in developing these skills among students. The mixed approach were used to analyze the content of the textbook based on the skills of the 21st century, and the qualitative method was used to conduct interviews with three English teachers of the Cambridge curriculum in Nablus. One of the study's most important outcomes indicates that the Cambridge Global English curriculum allocates attention unevenly among the four principal language skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Compared to the other two, listening receives relatively little attention in the implementation of the curriculum. The study reported that more emphasis is placed on speaking and writing, while reading and listening are less frequently addressed. In the area of 21st-century skills, the textbook gives priority to research, critical thinking, communication, and creativity, with much less attention being paid to the skills of leadership, responsibility, and digital literacy. The study also identified challenges teachers face, particularly in using technology. The other challenges are the time limitation, the foreign cultural background of the textbook, and the issue of motivation and assessment. Recommendations include updating the curriculum to better address the uneven allocation of attention to the four principal language skills and providing more teacher training. The researcher recommends that the content of the book should be updated to further enhance the skills of the 21st century, in addition to providing additional training for teachers to enable them to teach these skills effectively. | |
