This study aimed to analyze the representation of local culture in the government published ELT textbook for Junior High School student. Cultural diversity has become the issue related to the use of English that plays a great role to categorize English speakers and English varieties (Shin, Eslami and Chen, 2011). The integration of cultural values in ELT materials have been studied for years.
