Abstract:

This book presents a new and comprehensive framework for the analysis of
representations of culture, society and the world in textbooks for foreign and
second language learning. The framework is transferable to other kinds of
learning materials and to other subjects. The framework distinguishes between
five approaches: national studies, citizenship education studies, cultural
studies, postcolonial studies and transnational studies. In a series of
concrete analyses, the book illustrates how one can describe and uncover
representations of the world in textbooks for English, German, French,
Spanish, Danish and Esperanto. Each analysis is accompanied by suggestions of
possible supplements and changes. The book points to the need for language
learning materials to deal seriously with knowledge about the world, including
its diversities and problems.
