Chapter 3 reports the results of a study which looks into a collection of ten textbooks for advanced EFL students in order to assess their treatment of directive speech acts. This chapter considers aspects related to (1) the quantitative representation of directive speech acts in the textbooks (i.e. determining if there is a balanced portrayal of the most frequent categories of directive speech acts), and (2) the qualitative treatment of directive speech acts (i.e. assessing if the depiction of directive speech acts in EFL textbooks has incorporated the main research advancements described in ).
