Abstract:
This project reports on a content and statistical study of exam tips present in twelve English as a second language (ESL) textbooks for the B2 and C1 levels from the common European framework of reference (CEFR). All exam tips present in the twelve selected textbooks were, classified and interpreted. Findings show that interaction learner-tips and integration between the tips and the content of the textbooks is sought by the different selected publishers when writing their exam tips. Variables such as the textbook title or the type of exam tip also highly shape the distribution and arrangement of the tips.
