Journal Article
Locating critical discourse studies within school textbook research: a systematic literature review of research articles
2025
Overview
Among critical approaches to school textbook research, critical discourse studies (CDS) has proven itself a valuable and productive analytical approach. This paper surveys a database of 60 recent peer-reviewed research articles that use CDS approaches to investigate school textbooks. All the reviewed articles were published between 2018 and February 2024 and were drawn from various scholarly databases. The review aims to trace the regional coverage of the studies, types of the analyzed textbooks, the main used CDS frameworks and the major issues that were investigated. Findings indicate that oppressive discourses are the primary focus of most studies, with gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and minority groups, being particularly prominent. While English as a Foreign language (EFL) textbooks are prevalent among investigated textbooks, the regional coverage is diverse, an evidence of the growing popularity of CDS in textbook research. The review suggests that future research should investigate underexplored textbook types, expand its focus beyond well-researched topics to include under-studied emerging global issues and incorporate under-used CDS approaches to better capture the complexities of textbook discourse.
