Applying the appropriate theoretical approaches to the teaching strategies has been of great importance in the last two decades. Putting a theory into practice seems not to be so easy although teacher educators have frequently encouraged teachers to do this. The teaching approaches considered to be used for teaching English in guidance schools make the books difficult for students to learn since the syllabuses have not suitably been selected. In this paper, the English book of grade two of guidance schools has been studied. A library study of the book has been used as the method. After analyzing the contents and the approaches considered to be used for teaching these contents, the advantages and the disadvantages of the book have been defined. The results show that although there are plenty of useful contents in English for grade two of guidance school, lack of coherence of the contents, artificial dialogues with discouraging pictures along with many other reasons make the book unpleasant to learn as a suitable source of learning English. Keywords: English, book, guidance school , grade two
