The book was not comfortable and personal, and key vocabulary was not recycled. The pictures in “WIT 3” coursebook were not lively, colorful, and authentic. In the present, up comes “New Weaving It Together 3 (New WIT 3)” coursebook which responds to students in terms of preparation, motivation, knowledge, and reading and writing skills. “New WIT 3” coursebook is updated with a certain format which can expand on students’ knowledge of the unit theme. Employed with Bik (2005)’s tool, the textbook feature of “WIT 3” coursebook and “New WIT 3” coursebook was analyzed and interpreted. From “WIT 3” coursebook to “New WIT 3” coursebook, the other Graves (2000)’s tool was used to analyze the adaptation. “WIT 3” coursebook was adapted to “New WIT 3” coursebook at the activity level, the unit level, and the syllabus level.
