在外语教学中，教材是工作蓝图，扮演着重要角色。本书以问题为导向，对不同语种教材中的文化呈现进行分析，探讨了在语言教材中涵盖文化和社会知识的必要性、分析理论和呈现的各种层面。
全书共8章。第一章介绍了文化呈现等概念，说明本书的研究对象和研究问题。第二章概述了外语教材中文化分析的理论。第三至七章分别从民族研究、公民教育研究、文化研究、后殖民研究和跨国研究这五种视角，结合英语、法语、德语、西班牙语、丹麦语等多种语言教材实例，分析了文化的不同呈现。第八章总结了五种视角下的多语种教材中文化呈现的问题，并强调语言教材不仅要重视语言知识，还要关注文化、社会和跨文化知识。
本书兼具学术性和实践性，对于教材分析具有很强的指导意义。适合外语教师、教材研究者、教材编写者、教师教育者及语言学与教育学领域硕博士研究生参考。
