The CIRCE project <https://www.circe-project.eu> is pleased to announce
the online seminar âTextbooks, ideologies and language education. An
overview from different countries' teaching materialsâ organized in
collaboration with DFCLAM University of Siena, H2IOSC project and CNR ILC.
Abstract:
Textbooks play a pivotal role in language education, even in the era of
internet and AI. For both learners and teachers, textbooks are something
they use daily in the processes of learning and teaching, in the
classroom or at home. According to Curdt-Christiansen and Weninger
(2015) textbooks are sociocultural materials, they have the power to
represent and position ideas, values and beliefs, namely they can
legitimate an ideology, reflect a particular ideology and in this
perspective, they can shape identity of learners. To explore textbooks
as sociocultural products, we will analyze a sample of textbooks from
different countries and focus on the following aspects: plurilingualism,
theoretical approach, language activities, metalinguistic analysis and
variation. Â Examples from textbooks will be presented and discussed.
