The purpose of the study was to investigate the EFL teachers’ perceptions concerning the textbook of “Think Globally Act Locally” on these criteria: (1) physical and utilitarian attributes, (2) efficient outlay of objectives and supplementary material, (3) learning- teaching content, (4) language skills and aspects. Thirty two EFL teachers of junior high school participated in this study. The instrument consisted of questionnaire and interview. Results indicated that in physical and utilitarian attributes, this textbook was perceived as ‘Good’, in efficient outlay and supplementary materials was perceived as ‘Fair’, in learning-teaching content was perceived as ‘Fair’, and in language skills and aspects was perceived as ‘Fair’. Overall, this textbook was perceived as ‘Fair’. It still needs improvement in several aspects. The illustrations should be more natural. The mistakes in this textbook should be corrected. Teaching aids like audio materials (cassette/CD), posters, and flashcards, need to accompany this textbook. The exercises should be varied. New word list and glossary should be provided to support vocabulary building and reading skill. Finally, authentic audio material like cassette/CD and phonetic transcriptions for each new word should be available for listening and pronunciation practice.
