Teaching English using local cultural contents

The book highlights the scarcity of local cultural content in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks, which limits teachers' ability to integrate home culture into language instruction. It emphasizes the importance of including cultural elements that resonate with learners to enhance engagement and facilitate a deeper understanding of the target language. By analyzing textbooks, the author argues for a more balanced approach that allows learners to compare their own cultural practices with those of the target language, broadening their learning experience and participation.
