Abstract
The present study provides qualitative analysis of six EFL textbooks from three different series (Dip in, Tiptoes and Smiles editions for the second and the fourth grades) used in Croatian early primary school education. The categories chosen for the analysis include: 1) Content and Language Integrated Learning - CLIL, 2) the source, target and international culture representations, and 3) the UK and the USA as the target language representatives. The analysis aims to establish whether the cultural content found in the textbooks helps foster the intercultural communicative competence as proposed in the learning outcomes of subject curriculum for English (Croatian National Curriculum, 2019). The results indicate that Smiles and Tiptoes editions incorporate CLIL lessons, while Dip in textbooks do not mention CLIL explicitly. Smiles edition adopt the most systematic approach toward the source, target and international culture representations. Dip in textbooks seem to be oriented toward the American culture; Smiles textbooks introduce the UK as the only target culture representative, while Tiptoes editions include many examples of international target cultures.

Kategorije analize uključuju: 1) CLIL, kao relativno novu metodologiju koja povezuje jezik i sadržaj, odnosno, različite predmete i međukulturn e te me s učenjem jezika; 2) prikaz hrvatske kulture , kulture ciljnog jezika i međunarodnih kultura u udžbenicima engleskog jezika 3) prikaz američke i b ritanske kulture kao glavnih kultura ciljnog jezika , te njihov utjecaj na razvoj međukulturne komunikacijske kompetencije, kao domene Kurikuluma nastavnog predmeta Engleski jezik za osnovne škole i gimnazije 2019 Rezultati pokazuju da Smiles i Tiptoes izdanja (2020; 2021) uključuju CLIL kroz različite lekcije , dok Dip in udžbenici ne spominju CLIL.
