Abstract EN
Instructional textbooks are still of prevailing importance as the school’s basic framework of learning and as the emblematic reflection of their societies’ values and cultures.
Likewise, they tend unwittingly to embody a substratum of patriarchal agendas that are discriminatory against females.
By reviewing previous research studies that examined textbooks’ discourses and by looking at gender prejudice in the Algerian society, this research paper examines gender and power relations manifested through conversations in one of the Algerian EFL textbooks.
The results revealed that males spoke more then females did, and they controlled the conversations.
Hence, the researcher assumes that the target textbook discursively transmits relations of asymmetry and dominance in favor of males.
Abstract FRE
Les manuels scolaires sont toujours d'importance éminente comme l’élément indispensable de l'école et comme la réflexion des cultures et des valeurs de leurs sociétés.
De même, ils ont tendance inconsciemment à incarner un substrat des structures qui sont discriminatoires contre des femelles.
Cette étude examine le genre et les relations de pouvoir manifestées par des conversations dans un des manuels algériens utilisés pour enseigner l’Anglais.
Les résultats ont révélé que les mâles ont parlé plus alors les femelles ont fait, et ils ont contrôlé les conversations.
D'où, la chercheuse suppose que le manuel cible transmet discursivement des relations d'asymétrie et dominance en faveur des mâles.
