SUMMARY:

Considering the coursebook as a guiding resource to pedagogical activities of the English Language teacher and also as a support for the dissemination of cultural aspects in the classroom, it has been analyzed wether cultural elements were presente and how they were covered in English coursebooks from public schools, in the 9th grade of basic school - final years. This research was anchored in the conception of culture adopted by Kramsch (1998, 2012), in the Dialogism of Bakhtin (1992), in which Oliveras (2000) defends in the Intercultural Approach, in the notion of Intercultural Communicative Competence assumed by Byram (1989) and in the guiding principles of Applied Linguistics (LA) exposed by Moita Lopes (1996), among others. Based on that, the general objective of this investigation was defined as the following: to provide a reflection on the Intercultural Approach in the teaching of English and from this the specific objectives were chosen: (i) to map the presence of  recurrent cultural elements in the coursebooks analyzed and (ii) analyze how recurring cultural elements are explored in the selected books. As a documentary research (MOREIRA; CALEFFE, 2006), inserted in the field of LA, it has been used a qualitative approach, as exposed by (BODGAN; BIKLEN, 1994), descriptive (CHIZZOTTI, 2005) and interpretive (MOITA LOPES, 1994). In the preliminary analysis of the data it was verified the presence of cultural elements in the activities developed by the analyzed books, although mostly explored in a superficial way, based on the view of the expansion of English around the world and almost with no focus on intercultural aspects.
