Most Tefl schools issue students with a textbook for the duration of their course. Enrolling students will be taught from whatever section is being studied when they arrive. This results in students feeling as if they have somehow missed out, like walking into a film when you've missed the first hour.

The alternative of not using a textbook presents its own problems. Teachers have more freedom in their choice of material, but students in turn complain that the course lacks structure. A textbook provides the ultimate security blanket.
