Both textbooks published in up-to-date methodological dealing with their aims which is to develop learners‟ competence in all four skills. The principles in selecting the materials are relevant to the socio-cultural environment. The principle of sequencing materials and the input to learner support the need for EFL learning by providing a lot of practice and giving extensive exposure to language use. The role of materials supports EFL learning by providing up to date methodological, guidance for the non-native teacher, and acceptable content for the socio-cultural environment. The study indicate that Super Minds and English Chest are acceptable for teaching second graders of elementary students as EFL learners because their explicit and implicit nature applied four indicators of the scheme in EFL textbook evaluation by Williams (1983).
