Vilka länder får synas i engelskböckerna? : En undersökning hur engelskspråkiga länder framställs i läroböcker för årskurs tre / Which countries may appear in the English books? : An investigation of how English speaking countries are represented in textbooks for year three.

This study investigates whether students of year three get the chance to learn about cultures in places and contexts where English is used, through textbooks. The focus is whether the diversity of the English speaking cultures is shown or if a western centered image dominates. Postcolonial theory is the base of the investigation. As an analysis method, content analysis has mostly been used but also critical discourse analysis. The results show that Great Britain is the country that is most frequently represented in all books, but also that in general few cultures are brought up or explained. The purpose of this study is to investigate how English speaking parts of the world and contexts are represented in English books for year three.
