We haveevaluatedthem in relation to Anne Brit Fenner’s model (2000). It consists of knowledge,socio-cultural competence and attitude. In this research, the main concern has been to show ifthe cultural components are portrayed differently in the textbooks under investigation. Inorder to gather further data, we have relied on a questionnaire as an additional research tooladdressed to the middle school teachers. The study combines both qualitative and quantitativemethods which are both descriptive and statistical. The results sorted out from our textbookevaluation reveal that there are significant differences between the ways the cultural elementsare portrayed in the two coursebooks. Besides, it is also found that the focus of the culturalcomponents differs in the textbooks. In Spotlight on English One, it is knowledge which ismostly focused on. As forOn the Move, there is a gradual movement to socio-culturalcompetence and attitude since the fourth year Middle School learners have been wellequipped with the necessary skills and language mastery all along the four years. Concerningthe findings obtained from teachers’ answers and perceptions; they show that Fenner’scultural elements are presented differently in Spotlight on English Oneand On the Move.
