The purpose of this paper is to investigate the selection and specification of the communicative functions for lesson units in the current 3rd and 4th grade English textbooks. For this purpose, this study tries to analyze whether English textbooks of third and fourth grades are systematically sequenced and tries to find out how often are communicative functions presented in the textbooks. In short the current five kinds of English textbooks used in the elementary school have a problem with the articulation because only about 38.0 percent of communicative functions are systematically graded. The current English textbook does not seem to be effective for both teachers and elementary school students.
