Sociocultural Inappropriateness in Secondary School English Textbook Dialogues
Woo-hyun Jung,Elizabeth M. Riddle 팬코리아영어교육학회(구 영남영어교육학회) 2015 영어교육연구 Vol.27 No.4
This study seeks to analyze EFL textbook dialogues from a sociocultural point of view to investigate whether textbook dialogues represent L2 sociocultural knowledge appropriately. For this purpose, data were collected from eighteen middle school English textbooks designed under the 2007 national curriculum in Korea. The results showed that many samples of dialogues revealed inadequate presentation of L2 sociocultural knowledge in the textbooks. There were two overall categories of sociocultural inappropriateness: socio-contextual and stylistic factors. The socio-contextual problems involved problems arising from neglect of participant variables and scanty attention to situational variables. The stylistic problems occurred when speech behaviors were impolite and even rude and when formal language was used where causal language is favored. These findings are not in keeping with the widely held claim that the choice of language should be specific to sociocultural contexts and situations where it is used. The findings also suggest that textbook dialogues do not always mirror the ways native speakers actually perform. On the basis of the results, pedagogical implications are provided, together with helpful suggestions for the improvement of sociocultural aspects of English textbooks.
