This book examines how culture is represented and organised in English language teaching, arguing that it is not simply included or excluded but selectively constructed through curriculum, materials, and pedagogy. Drawing on a comparative analysis of ELT textbooks in Turkey and Iran, it shows that cultural content is often presented in fragmented ways that limit meaningful engagement. In response, the book introduces the concept of cultural integration as a relational framework for understanding how local, global, and target-language perspectives are connected and mediated. Moving beyond static models, it proposes a continuum of cultural organisation ranging from imposition to critical engagement. By linking theory, empirical analysis, and pedagogy, the book offers a new way of understanding culture in ELT and provides insights for researchers, educators, and curriculum designers seeking more coherent and context-sensitive approaches to language education.
