Abstract:

This book addresses the issue of using texts of culture in the EFL classroom.
It analyzes some of the common problems observed in the teaching of English to
senior secondary schools students, particularly in the context of the school
leaving examination. It offers a discussion of the role of English language
education in the school curriculum and stresses the importance of using texts
with cognitive appeal at lessons. It presents the impact of literature, films
and songs on the student’s overall development and a set of criteria for text
selection. It also investigates the English teacher’s role in exploiting the
educational potential of culture texts and proposes a way of integrating them
with a system of preparation for the school leaving examination in English.
