Abstract
This study mainly dealt with the compounds of culture, economy, religion, history, education, language, sports politics, law, gender, partialism, multiculturalism and affirmative action in globally and locally written textbooks just as the compounds of cross-cultural communication, inner circle, expanding circle, outer circle, cultural awareness and national identity were analyzed based on the data obtained from the interviews and the questionnaire. The main purpose of this chapter is to introduce methodological points leading the study. Therefore, this chapter contains a meticulous description of research aim, design of the study, settings where the study was conducted, samples composed of students and teachers at government schools. Instruments, procedures for data collection and analyses, measures serving to the validity and reliability of the instruments are thoroughly stated as well.
