Resumen:
Over the last years non-language contents in ELT coursebooks appear to gain in importance thus adding a dimension of interest and motivation. Although the acquisition of forms and meanings are still central in the beginning stages of foreign language learning and teaching, content tends to occupy a key role, not only as a carrier of input and prompter of expression, but also because of its information, educational and entertainment value. To what extent do we find a greater variety of non-language contents in coursebooks today? What purposes do they serve? What do teachers do with them in the context of secondary schools TEFL? The talk aims at exploring these issues on the basis of an analysis of texts in a selection of widely used elementary coursebooks and the voices of practicing teachers.
