Abstract
Textbooks and teaching materials have high-priority in foreign language teaching and they provide a curriculum-based framework for teachers.Since language teachers are faced with a myriad of resources when choosing, they must systematically evaluate them so that they can decide on the most appropriate textbook to suit the needs of their language learners. What is remarkable in this regard is that today with the expansion of Persian language teaching to non-Persian speakers, the number of audiences and those interested in learning the Persian language is increasing, several books and educational resources have been provided to achieve this goal; accordingly, the evaluation of Persian language teaching resources also helps Persian language teachers in choosing the correct and appropriate educational materials. In this regard, the present study tried to learn to evaluate the Persian educational collection (Zolfaghari et al., 2002) using the evaluation checklist of the book Mokandan and Nimehchi Salem (2015) from the point of view of Persian language teachers. Based on this checklist, 19 teachers evaluated the "Farsi Biyamuzim" educational series and a semi-structured interview was conducted with 5 teachers. The results of this study showed that this educational complex, although it is currently being taught in many Persian language teaching centers and is evaluated at a relatively good level in terms of educational content from the perspective of teachers, also faces shortcomings and limitations that the author of this research offers suggestions for improving the visual and content quality of this collection.
