Abstract:

This volume investigates ideological and hegemonic practices in globally and
locally written English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks, and explores
whether these textbooks reflect the values, beliefs and norms of the
native-speaker society by examining their ideological components and the
hegemonic practices by means of which the source society or state seeks to
influence learners of the language. It also attempts to clarify EFL teachers’
and students’ views on the underlying ideology and hegemonic practices in
globally and locally written EFL textbooks.

Studies on the relationship between ideology, hegemony and textbooks in
applied linguistics have become more prevalent in recent decades, as the
emergence of critical theory, critical pedagogy, and critical thinking skills
from the 1920s onwards has led scholars to adopt a more critical perspective
towards EFL textbooks, especially with regard to elements of ideology and
hegemony. These two terms encompass a plethora of components, ranging from
nationalism to religion. At the same time, the importance of metanarratives
originating from the tenets of modernism has declined from the 1960s onwards,
the assumption being that the world has entered a new age called postmodernism
and post-structuralism that emphasizes the role of individuals and rejects
efforts to reinforce post-colonialism, the effects of which can be seen in EFL
textbooks. Accordingly, taking the elements of ideology and hegemony into
account remains a vital aspect in the analysis of EFL textbooks.
