dc.description.abstractThe present research focuses on the effectiveness of the implemented cultural components in the Algerian first year secondary school textbook ‘At the Crossroads’ on learners’ critical thinking. It highlights the correlation between teaching the culture in EFL situations, and how it affects learners’ critical thinking. This research rises many questions such as: What is Culture? What are the approaches, techniques and methods that should be followed while teaching Culture? What is Critical Thinking? How to enhance learners’ critical thinking while teaching culture? The present investigation is in fact based on the hypothesis that, the Algerian EFL textbook “At the Cross Road” fosters learners’ critical thinking through the implementation of the cultural aspects. The analysis of the textbook cultural input carried through a checklist developed by the researchers and its findings, allow us to disconfirm the raised hypothesis. In the light of these findings, we recommend that the Algerian teachers of English in EFL classes should explore more opportunities of implementing critical thinking through teaching culture.ar
