Authors : Chalal Fatima Zohra . Yassine Souryana .
Abstract
The textbook is crucial for teaching and learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Algeria. This paper aims to explore the level of cultural awareness present in the first-year EFL textbook "At the Crossroads" (2005) through critical discourse analysis, using the frameworks of Fairclough (2003) and Baker (2011). The results indicate that the textbook needs to effectively cultivate intercultural awareness among EFL learners. Consequently, there is a need to reconsider and reassess the linguistic content of the textbook to provide a more balanced cultural input for EFL learners.
