Abstract
Culture and language are inseparable in their essence; therefore, any textbook developed for foreign language teaching should take into consideration its cultural aspects. The current study aims to investigate the cultural elements presented in the newly introduced English textbook designed for teaching 4th grade Middle School learners. Descriptive content analysis method, based on two coding schemes was adopted to codify the content. The results reveal that the textbook has promoted different dimensions of culture with a focus on products, perspectives and persons. The bias in favor of the source culture is obvious throughout the textbook in terms of the reading, writing and speaking input.
