This study discusses the importance of textbook evaluation in education to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the learning process. Textbooks not only present information but also assist teachers in designing the curriculum, crafting learning activities, and assessing student progress. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of textbooks is crucial to assess their suitability for educational needs. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach and utilizes the evaluation instrument developed by Mike Horsley and Kevin Laws to evaluate the "My Best Reading" textbook. The evaluation results provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the textbook and its contribution to improving the quality of educational materials. However, the study has limitations that need to be considered in designing more comprehensive recommendations for enhancing instructional materials.

The research hypothesized a strong positive correlation between perceived assignment load and mental health problems. The method of this research used quantitative approach using a questionnaire. The Data was collected from 20 participants. The researchers, analyzed the data using pearson's correlation coefficient JASP to examine the relationship between excessive assignment and mental health condition. Based on the findings, the result showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.900, p <.001) between excessive assignment and mental health condition, indicating that 81.0% of the variance in students' mental health could be attributed to their perceived workload. Educational institutions should take proactive steps to manage student workloads and provide mental health support services, such as counseling, time management training, and flexible deadlines. Promoting a balanced approach to academic assessment that prioritizes both academic excellence and student well-being is crucial for fostering the success and well-being of English language students. This research limited due to the small sample size and focus on a specific student population. Future research with larger and more diverse samples is needed to further explore the complex relationship between academic demands and student mental health. The findings highlight the urgent need for universities and educators to prioritize student mental health alongside academic achievement. Implementing practical strategies to manage workloads and provide mental health support can promote a more holistic and student-centered educational environment.
