coursebooks

Educational study materials

Coursebooks are textbooks designed for structured educational programs, typically following a syllabus or curriculum.

The term is more common in British English and language teaching contexts: The coursebook covers grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

Unlike general textbooks, coursebooks often include exercises, assessments, and supplementary materials intended to be worked through sequentially.
