Social Representations in EFL Coursebooks. A direct route to the portrayal of identities

      Аннотация: Some instructional materials are actually offensive to some learners. This unique piece of research successfully provides teachers, parents and learners with the necessary tools to address and combat racism and sexism in coursebooks. If you identify with the images and the characters depicted in coursebooks, you: improve your linguistic abilities, grow in confidence and self-esteem, reproduce a discourse of equality, make a better world, foster tolerance, and you are empowered to fight discrimination.
