Nothing in this world has been considered to be without flaws and so are the textbooks. Each textbook in use has different strengths as well as the area where it is disadvantaged considering the content and the teaching process applications. This article is intended to analyze what new features the New Cutting Edge Intermediate (NCEI) textbook presents. In addition to this, the article will focus on its strengths and weaknesses. The date used to get information concerning the contents, the design, the layout, activities and tasks, grammar and all the other skills in the book are all acquired using the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) of this textbook and its appropriateness for the school of business students at a private university in Dubai. A content analysis approach was used to collect the data and contents of the book aligned with the Garinger Checklist used for evaluating textbooks (2002) (see appendix 1 & 2) together with an interview guide were implemented.
