Representación de la cultura en libros de texto de lengua inglesa en Pakistán.
Resumen
Este studio intenta investigar la "representación cultural" en los libros de texto de ESL. Para el análisis, el modelo de Byrem (1993) se ha utilizado en este estudio. Se ha hecho una comparación de todos estos libros para mostrar que estos libros tienen su consideración central en la representación de la cultura extranjera y con excepción del PTB, todos los libros ignoran el sabor local de la cultura en los libros para estudiantes paquistaníes. Este studio ilumina los problemas sociales y académicos que tienen lugar en el scenario educativo pakistaní. Concluye con algunas sugerencias, y al adoptarlas, los educadores pueden supercar estos problemas.
