Abstract
Language and culture are two inseparable concepts, both in everyday life and in teaching English. Moreover, both concepts are found in textbooks, the main source of information and knowledge in the formal teaching process. There are many different approaches to analyzing textbooks and cultural content in them. In this paper, the study proceeds according to the fundamental principles of semiotic analysis. The aim of the research is to analyze the representation of the cultural content in English as a foreign language textbooks. Moreover, the paper evaluates the quality of the selected examples containing elements of culture and points out to their possible contribution in acquiring knowledge and spreading cultural awareness among high school students. The results of the resarch have shown that EFL textbooks have sufficient culture-related content, but its potential is not fully utilized as most tasks are purely linguistically oriented.
Abstract (croatian)
Jezik i kultura dva su usko povezana pojma, kako u svakodnevnici, tako i u nastavi engleskog jezika. Također, oba se pojma nalaze u udžbenicima, glavnom izvoru informacija i učenja u službenom procesu nastave. Postoje različiti načini proučavanja udžbenika i kulturološkog sadržaja u njima. U ovome radu, proučavanje zastupljenosti kulturološkog sadržaja u trima udžbenicima počiva na principima semiotičke analize. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja analizirati udio kulturološkog sadržaja u udžbenicima engleskoga jezika. Nadalje, radom se procjenjuje kvaliteta odabranih primjera koji sadrže elemente kulture te ukazuje na njihov mogući doprinos u stjecanju znanja i širenju svijesti prema kulturološkim sadržajima kod učenika srednjih škola. Istraživanje je pokazalo da sva tri udžbenika imaju dovoljnu zastupljenost kulturološkog sadržaja, no da se međusobno razlikuju u njegovom prikazu i učeničkom angažmanu. Nadalje, analiza sadržaja pokazuje da potencijal tekstova nije u potpunosti iskorišten jer je većina popratnih zadataka isključivo lingvistički orijentirana.
