[[Image:English textbook.jpg|thumb|280px|An [[English language|English]] ''textbook'']] A '''textbook''' is a [[book]] used for the study of a [[wikt:subject|subject]]. People use a textbook to learn [[fact]]s and [[wikt:method|methods]] about a certain subject. Textbooks sometimes have questions to test the knowledge and understanding of the learner. A workbook is a type of textbook that has only practice questions and exercises. Workbooks are designed not to teach but to provide practice and to highlight areas which need more learning. A revision guide is a type of textbook that is used to remind the learner about the subject and give him/her extra practice, especially before an [[examination]]. A textbook is usually lent to students by a [[school]] to accompany a course the school is teaching. Sometimes, especially at [[university]], students have to buy the textbooks they need themselves or borrow them from a [[library]]. Most textbooks are only published in printed format. However, some are now available online as [[electronic book]]s. {{wiktionary}} {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Learning]]
