IDENTITY ISSUES IN TURKISH HIGH SCHOOL EFL TEXTBOOKS

Abstract

As a dominant force that shapes the multiple environments in which we live, the phenomenon of globalization fundamentally alters the terrain of public and pri- vate life, creating tensions between the local and the global, especially for those countries like Turkey, which are characterised by proximity and familiarity. The purpose of the present study is to explore the role of education and of specifically textbooks in resolving this conflict between global transformations and local re- sponses. The research objectives of this qualitative study are to analyze the cultural content of a representative sample of four EFL texbooks and to unearth what some of their unstated beliefs,values and attitudes are. It is hoped that the study will highlight the paramount importance of textbooks in equipping children and youth to confront the dualities globalization creates.
