Data were collected from pictures, reading passages and dialogues. Fairclough's (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework was used for analyzing the data. The textbooks contain two clearly delineated imagined communities, one of Saudi characters and the other of foreign characters. These were examined for gender, occupational identities, ethnicity, nationality and religious affiliation. In addition, the cultural content ascribed to both the source culture (Saudi culture) and the target culture ('Western' culture) was examined. The findings reveal that the representation of Saudi characters is accurate in terms of identity options but that there is oversimplification, misrepresentation and imbalance in the representations of foreign characters. In addition, the findings show that the content of these textbooks focuses on representations of Saudi and Islamic cultures, i.e. the source culture and religion of Saudi learners. By contrast, the textbooks introduce simplistic representations of Western culture(s). The identity representations and cultural content in the textbooks under examination can thus be described as 'Saudi-centric'. These oversimplifications and misrepresentations of foreign characters and foreign cultures may have a negative impact on learners' motivation and may also lead to weak English competence. Thus, this research has implications for textbook design and suggests that a broader range of identity options of non-Saudi people and cultures should be included in English language teaching materials. ; Mode of access: World wide web ; 1 online resource (xii, 80 pages) colour illustrations Keyword: Cultural identity; discourse analysis; English language -- Study and teaching -- Foreign speakers; english language teaching materials; Ideology in literature; Teaching -- Aids and devices; textbooks URL: http://hdl.handle.net/1959.14/1267880 BASE Hide details 17 Primary EFL teachers' oral corrective feedback in Vietnam: beliefs and practices Ha, Xuan Van. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2017 BASE Show details 18 English language teachers’ perceptions and the impact of a standardised professional development program in Sabah, Malaysia: a mixed methods study Hiew, Wendy. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2017 BASE Show details 19 The role beliefs about language use play in the social construction of the EFL classroom Rabbidge, Michael. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2017 BASE Show details 20 Communication strategies in interactions involving language learners Nishimura, Satoko. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2016 BASE Show details Page: 1 2 3
