The majority of college-English textbooks used in Korean universities are imported from the foreign countries. Thus, it is probable that the textbooks are not suitable for the Korean students studying in college. This research explores how newly-made English textbook made by native speakers of English who teach English in Korea is different from imported textbooks. For this purpose, 'Annyeong English' book is evaluated and compared with imported textbooks according to the McDonough and Shaw's evaluation sheet. Next, the contents of 'Annyeong English' are analyzed, and the interview with the authors was implemented to see their intention. Finally, students' reponses were analyzed through the questionnaire. The results of this study show that 'Annyeong English' reflects Korean students' characteristics and context, but there were some demerits in external points compared to imported textbooks.
