Abstract

The predominant rationale behind this article is to determine whether the presence or absence of references to intercultural competence in the modern English classroom is contingent upon the quality of popular English coursebooks. The present research, which is based on ninety English coursebooks, will also seek to establish the reasons for the seeming reluctance of teachers to integrate snippets of intercultural competence in their lessons. After the presentation of the data transpiring from the research, the author will proceed to list a number of possible reasons for intercultural competence being neglected as well as suggesting several improvements that could remedy this methodological conundrum.
