| Description | The author examines the ways in which culture of the target country or countries is represented in foreign language textbooks. Elements of culture are analysed in the content of English and Russian foreign language textbooks, both as explicitly expressed descriptions of life and institutions of a foreign country and as subtle hints about lifestyle and value systems. |
