Abstract
The aim of this research is mainly concerned with evaluating the Algerian middle
school textbook entitled On the Move in terms of pronunciation issue. To carry out our
research, we used Jeremy Harmer (2001) techniques of teaching pronunciation. As regards
data collection, On the Move textbook was the corpus used. In order to analyze the data, we
opted for a mixed-method research, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The
former helped us to obtain statistical data and the latter served in interpreting the results using
content analysis. The obtained findings answer the two research questions that are asked in the
introduction. The first one is that, On the Move textbook contains more supra-segmental
activities than segmental ones. The second is that, the four techniques of pronunciation
teaching suggested by Jeremy Harmer (whole lessons, discrete slots, integrated phases, and
opportunistic teaching) are implemented in On the Move.
