Özet
Studying coursebooks and instructional materials in terms of their
cultural, social and value-based qualities has been a significant aspect of research
in language education since what is inherent in coursebooks directly affects users’
perspective. In this research study, contents of English language coursebooks
used in Turkish senior primary schools are studied by focusing on how sports and
recreational activities are portrayed in relation to some variables such as
identities of the persons doing sports, which sports are particularly shown, and
the social values associated with them. A total number of 3 coursebooks are
studied and the findings revealed the problems associated with the representation
of sports in these coursebooks.
