The thesis aims to analyze the cultural content of the curricula of English as a foreign language for the fifth and sixth grades of primary school in Iraq, and also to research the nature of the relationship between image and text in the school curricula and its importance in providing cultural content in the primary curricula for teaching English in Iraq.
The study concluded that the primary curricula for teaching the English language have multiple styles, which in turn helps to present the cultural content to the students in an interactive manner that does not depend on text only, but also depends on text with multiple styles such as image, text and sound as well. There is also a consensual relationship between the image and the text to present the various cultural topics found in the primary books for teaching English as a foreign language.
