This study aimed at analyzing the extent to which the listening activities included in the pupil’s book of Action Pack three respond to the general guidelines and specific outcomes and integrate language skills by utilizing the content analysis method. To answer the main research question, the analyst developed a content analysis sheet. The frequencies and percentages were used in order to present the results of the analysis. The findings revealed that the textbook under analysis includes different types of listening activities that respond to the general guidelines and the listening specific outcomes. Also, they revealed that all these types integrate language skills. The study recommended further analysis on the listening skill and the other skills, i.e., speaking, reading and writing, in light of other criteria of analysis including balance, organization, authenticity and appropriateness.
