Sažetak

With a growing emphasis on teaching English as an International Language (EIL) and on developing learners’ intercultural competence, great efforts have been put into diversifying and decentralizing cultural content in English textbooks. This paper uses content analysis to examine the incorporation of local, target, and international cultural content in reading lessons found in three textbooks: Challenges, Way to Go and Project, the only textbooks approved by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science to be used in the eighth grade in primary schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this analysis is to determine the countries represented in each reading passage and to examine whether the exercises accompanying the texts encourage learners to reflect on similarities and differences between cultures. Content analysis shows that the three textbooks differ in the representation of the cultural content and require varying levels of learners’ engagement.
