Abstract

This paper examines a book entitled Headway Upper-Intermediate Student’s book, an English textbook popularly used in many academic institutions of the EFL countries more than ten years ago, and identifies what activities it suggests. The paper specifically discusses the issues of whether the activities/ exercises in the book give input, or are designed for output practice, ending with the final evaluation of whether the input is roughly- or finely-tuned, and the output activities are for practice or communication.
