Foreign language teachers lack criteria when the time comes for them to choose the book to use in their classrooms. Thus, this paper tries to offer these teachers a series of guidelines based on the “National Curriculum Guidelines – Foreign Languages - Grades 5 through 8”. This proposal, divided into five cards composed of several guiding questions, was then created with the intention of making the concepts related to that document less abstract than they are in those Guidelines. The study suggests that foreign language professionals should not use this proposal as a recipe, but as an object for reflection while choosing the materials to be used in their classrooms.
