This research is aimed at investigating what cultures are dominantly presented in English textbook used by Junior High School students grade VII in Banyuwangi, entitled “English for Nusantara for Grade VII” and how they are presented. The data were collected from the analysis of the textbook, interview, and questionnaires distributed to three English teachers. The method used in this study is document analysis. Some underlying models proposed by Cortazzi and Jin (1990) and Yuen (2011) were used as the main framework for analyzing the textbook. The investigation revealed two main facts.

Source culture, in the forms of tangible products such as naming, places, and food, are the most dominant cultural content.
