다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Language and culture are so closely related that teaching culture is essential in foreign language teaching. Presently, English education in high school in Korea is concentrated on teaching functions of the language, while neglecting cultural aspects of the countries where English is spoken. In addition, most students can only understand cultural aspects presented in their textbooks. Thus the importance of the textbooks in the cultural education in school can not be overtly stressed too much.
To perform the research, 6 kinds of circulating English textbooks for first graders in high schools were analyzed for their contents in accordance with material, type, nationality.
Fist of all, the cultural materials suggested in high school English textbooks are analyzed to find out the degree of distribution based on the 7th national curriculum. As a result, most high school English textbooks contain various cultural materials, but a couple of them only suggest a few of materials.
Second, cultual contents in the textbooks were also analyzed according to spiritual culture, behavioral culture, and material culture. The most dominant is the spiritual culture, which consists of 41.43%, while the behavioral culture presents only 24.28%.
Third, in nationality analysis, the contents of textbooks were analyzed by nationality background such as Korean cultural background, English-American cultural background and korean-American cultural background, universal cultural background. As a result, English-American cultural background showed the highest ratio of 42.86%, and Korean cultural background follows with 12.8%. It shows much gap between them.
Fourth, the segments which explain cultural materials in high school textbooks are analyzed to investigate whether the textbooks suggest the diverse cultural contents but also present different cultures in each unit. As a result, the segments of cultural explanations are contained only 3 high school textbooks.
To conclude, the textbooks need to contain a great variety of cultural contents in order to form a culturally balanced education and to provide stronger motivation to the students.
