Well-prepared teaching materials are one of the most important elements in the process of teaching and learning a language as a second or foreign language. Most language teachers will spend most of their preparation time on selecting, adapting, and / or even developing suitable materials. If enough good materials are already available on the market, they will select the best materials at hand to be used for their classroom teaching. From time to time they may need to adapt them to some degree to meet their teaching objectives, classroom situations and learners conditions, no matter how well the materials will have been previously developed by their writers. In order to meet the immediate situation around the school where the learners learn or the city where the learners live, some adaptation of some sort is always needed to make the materials more relevant and interesting to the learners, which will hopefully make them learn the target language more effectively. The job of the teachers will be harder when they have to develop their teaching materials from scratch because they cannot find any good materials available on the market which they can choose. Many times they have to start from designing a syllabus before they write suitable materials for their teaching purposes. This paper is a rough description of some of the outstanding features of several textbooks on Indonesian which I have used as references for the teaching of Indonesian as a foreign language in Japan. It will focus on both their good qualities and shortcomings with some suggestions for a more interactive and communicative type of language teaching and learning in the classroom.
