Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was aimed at finding cross-cultural content in EFL course books and to see if the number of sentences presented by native and non-native speakers of English is equal in course books or not. Top Notch book A and B were selected for the purpose of this research. Conversation models of the books were analyzed to evaluate the presentation of native and non-native speakers, and reading passages were analyzed to find cross-cultural content. The frequency and percentage of each variable were estimated which indicated that there is cross-cultural content in both books but the number of cross cultural content in book B is more than book A and book A includes more of native culture. Furthermore, as the frequency and percentage of native and non-native speakers were calculated the number of sentences and utterances made by native speakers were more than the ones made by non-native speakers.
