Textbooks are usually considered a fundamental part of teaching; defended by their
supporters and despite their detractors, they have persisted for centuries because
they have been able to adapt to different pedagogical currents and methodological
approaches. But regardless of the times, coursebooks have never ceased to reflect
societies, attitudes and beliefs. In the last decades, women have been gaining power
and representation in society, though this empowerment has not always been fairly
translated in textbooks. Many researchers have analysed EFL materials only to find
out that they were strongly male-biased and that they depicted women in a
stereotyped way. Fortunately, there has been much progress in the field since then,
although imbalance and stereotypes are still not infrequent. This study is a
quantitative and qualitative study of the texts and illustrations of a coursebook I use ?
Global elementary-, and it aims at examining the gender representations and labels
in it. In addition, this analysis intends to go beyond mere judgment and encourage
ways of regarding EFL materials that foster a more egalitarian and fair
representation of the genders. The results of this study show many improvements
and considerable effort in portraying a more balanced depiction of females and
males; there are, however, some conservative views in in the visual and linguistic
content. The key lies in identifying these imbalances in order to use them to trigger
enriching debates with our students and raise awareness on the subject. |
