    Textbooks constitute an integral part of instructional media that are adopted to facilitate teaching-learning process. Thus, this study attempted to carryout teachers’ evaluation of Al-Ma’dubah ’Al-Adabiyyah, a recommended textbook for teaching Arabic Literature in Nigerian senior secondary schools. Descriptive research method was employed in the study. The population for the study was made up of all the teachers of Arabic language at the senior secondary school level in Kwara State. All the 64 teachers of Arabic language were purposively engaged in the study. However, only 60 teachers of Arabic language returned the questionnaires. A 25 – item researcher designed questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. Percentage was used to answer the research questions postulated for the study while the three hypotheses formulated were tested using t-test statistics at 0.05 level of significant. The data collected were analysed using the percentage indices and t-test statistics. The results revealed that the textbook received positive assessment in terms of its availability, clarity of objectives, consistency with the senior secondary school Arabic curriculum, suitability, durability and exercises while the book lags behind in term of adequacy of illustrations. The results also showed that no significant differences existed in the evaluation of the textbook based on teachers’ gender, while there existed significance difference in the evaluation of the textbook based on teachers’ qualification and years of teaching experience. In line with the findings in the study, it was recommended that the textbook should be retained as an Arabic literature teaching material for senior secondary schools. Qualified Arabic teachers should be encouraged to adopt the book while teaching Arabic Literature.
