Resum

In the first part, we focus on how these texts have been employed according to the definition and the functions outlined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). In the second part, a reflection is made about the treatment of grammar in students’ books as far as explanations and exercises are concerned. Finally, we discuss some reflections and proposals concerning the above-mentioned subjects. [Keywords: methods and approaches; text; grammar; activities; text book]
