| dc.description.abstract | EFL textbooks play an important role in the teaching of foreign languages and foreign cultures. Designing a program which covers both the teaching of language systems and cultural perspectives at the same time is a real challenge for both teachers and students. In EFL setting intercultural awareness and sensitivity can be reached only when cultural diversity and the differences and similarities that exist between cultures are introduced to the student to make him/her able to appreciate every culture and to recognize that there is no culture which is superior or inferior. The present work is concerned with the investigation of how interculturality and cultural diversity are taught in ‘New Prospects’ with a specific focus on the share given to the British culture. The study attempts to deal with three main objectives which motivated us to carry on with this research work. Our corpus consists in the EFL textbook designed for the Algerian secondary school which is composed of 270 pages. Content analysis will be used as a helpful tool, in order to evaluate and to examine the different cultural contents presented in the book. The first objective is to identify how ‘NP’ implements interculturaliy by introducing various cultural contents: from the source culture, from the target culture and from the international culture. These components are presented through different forms , reading text, images, activities, maps, project, proverbs and sayings. Then, we attempted to investigate and to evaluate the room devoted to the British culture in ‘NP’. The theoretical framework of Byram plays an important role in order to organize and to categorize each item and context in the right range. Finally, the result we have reached show the positive side of the British culture which is conveyed through pictures and illustrate perfectly some specific symbols and representative of the British culture and society | en |
