520 $a The purpose of the present study was to analyze English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks used at the high school and university levels in a Brazil. The theoretical framework for this study was derived from reproduction theory, and content analysis was utilized in examining the textbooks selected. Eight Brazilian textbooks used at the high school level and four textbooks used at the university for teaching EFL level were analyzed to identify value orientations, ideology, and hegemonic practices.
520 $a The research objectives of the study were to (1) identify foreign social and cultural value orientation contained in both Brazilian and imported textbooks; (2) to identify ideological statements in the textbooks analyzed; (3) to identify hegemonic practices in selected textbooks; under consideration; (4) to compare imported EFL textbooks used at the university level with Brazilian high school textbooks in terms of certain value orientations, ideology and hegemonic practices.
520 $a Materialism, individualism and collective action were identified as manifestations of value orientations. The findings of the present study suggest that materialism and individualism were included in all twelve textbooks, whereas collective action was not. Gender and race were interpreted in the present study as manifestations of ideology. Women and men in the EFL textbooks examined were limited to traditional gender roles in career choices and occupations. Race was addressed from the stereotypical perspective of an Expanding Circle country. Hegemonic practices were identified in the representation of countries in the Inner Circle as urban and industrial, whereas countries in the Expanding Circle and Outer Circle were rural and with limited industry.
520 $a Based on the findings of the study, checklist for textbook selection and development were developed to assist teachers to use in selecting EFL textbooks for the high school and university levels. Additionally, general guidelines were proposed for use by the local Board of Education to guide publishers in developing better EFL textbooks for use in a Brazilian or other Expanding Circle context. Recommendations for further study were presented.
