Program Summary
This study examined the discursive construction of “culture” across all the editions of two popular language teaching methods textbooks by Brown. The findings indicate the dominant conceptualization of “culture” as decontextualized from everyday life and political struggle, and as inseparable from language learning processes, but not necessarily a teaching component.
