Researchers at the ACECR started the national scheme of developing English language teaching (ELT) course books in 2013. The course books were intended to enjoy the most up-to-date international standards and to com-pete with foreign products of the type in terms of their supplementary materials alongside their graphic design. The result of all these efforts is a brilliant, scientific series which has been presented to the Iranian ELT market and through which thousands of learners are currently learning the English language. Eight’s scientific features In keeping with the concept of World English, the Eight English series, in addition to dealing with the five lan-guage skills, fulfills the communicative needs of ELT learners and prepares them for international exams. This educational series, following the standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), has been designed based on a comprehensive corpus which covers basic to advanced ELT levels. ELT course books available in Iran and presently used to teach English in Iranian language institutes are suitable for an ESL audience. Consequently, the majority of Iranian learners of English leave these institutes believing their communication needs have not been met. As such, they encounter serious communication problems. Given the gravity of these problems, the Eight series has been prepared with the needs of EFL learners, especially those living in Iran, in mind.
