The purpose of this study is to analyze cultural contents in Korean high school English textbooks in accordance with 2015 Korean National Curriculum. A total of 30 high school English textbooks for English, English I, and English II for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students, respectively, were selected and analyzed according to the topics of cultural contents, regional backgrounds of cultural contents, and types of cultural contents. In addition, the Korean cultural contents of the textbooks were examined according to cultural types. The results are as follows. First, among 19 cultural topics, the most common in all years was general education. Second, universal culture occupied more than 65% in all years. Third, all of the textbooks present three cultural types, with behavioral culture showed the highest. Fourth, the Korean cultural contents tend to be focused on material culture. Based on the findings, the study provides several suggestions for cultural learning in English textbooks. First, 19 cultural topics need to be distributed more evenly. Second, reduce universal cultural contents and increase Korean culture so that learners know the value of their culture. KCI Citation Count: 0
