الملخص الإنجليزي

This research was conducted to examine the embedded values of the English language curriculum in Palestinian public schools for the academic year 2015-2016 for the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades.

The two main research questions were: 1.

What are the types of emphasized values in the 8th- through 10th-grade textbooks for English classes in Palestine? 2.

How are those values transmitted in English classroom interactions? The researcher applied a qualitative methodology using content analysis of six textbooks, observation of four classes, and teacher interviews.

The data from the textbook analyses was transcribed and coded according to Schwartz’s(2012) values theory, whereas data from the observation and interviews was coded using thematic analysis.

The results showed an unbalanced distribution of value domains in the English for Palestine textbook series, indicating that there were not consistencies in these values among learning units and grade levels.

The findings also showed that the teachers of the English classes exhibited limited application and understanding of value systems.

The researcher recommended revising the English for Palestine textbooks to include values awareness training for teachers, conducting further investigations into the retention of values education by students, and expanding current English language pedagogy to include cultural and not only technical information
