Abstract
This paper deals with the notion of culture and why it is very important to include it in the teaching of a language, especially English. It starts off with the definition of culture, followed by an explanation of the relationship between language and culture. It proceeds to make its point by showing the teaching of culture throughout history and then goes to discuss culture in the context of teaching and the important role it plays. Cultural awareness and intercultural communicative competence are listed and explained as main goals for teaching culture to students so that they become competent to communicate with members of the target culture. The following chapter deals with the types and approaches to the textbooks used for the teaching of English, how they are constructed and how they can be used as a tool for helping teachers to make a quality lesson of language. In the research part there is a list of textbooks currently used in Croatia and cultural topics and their occurrence are analyzed. All the topics are catalogued and briefly explained and cultural dimensions that appear are listed. At the very end there is a summary of the whole investigation that includes a critical evaluation of the textbooks in terms of cultural content.
