Cultural Bias in the 3rd Edition of the Interchange (Students' Book 2)

Research Paper from the year 2016 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, , language: English, abstract: The 3rd edition of "The Interchange" has been chosen in this study because it's a fully revised edition of the world's most successful English learning series for adult and young adult learners. As per my long experience in teaching this book in the Middle East, I am one of the admirers of this book because it is simple, modernized and it also has valuable information for the learners. It is mentioned in the book that English is not limited to a culture, religion or nationality and it's a global or international language. Consequently, it's very important to know whether the aims of the book have been achieved or not. And because the textbook has a strong effect on the learners' behaviors, it is crucial to be evaluated culturally in order to know whether it is really suitable for our learners or not.
