在这篇文章中，我们调查了不同种类的英语是如何在瑞典高中使用的精选材料中表现出来的。2011年的高中英语教学课程政策改革强调了语言的全球维度，与传统的英式英语拉开了距离。我们对两本精选教科书的内容分析结果表明，尽管政策发生了变化，但重点仍然放在内圈国家的标准品种上。当其他类型的角色出现时，使用它们的角色往往被描绘得比他们的核心圈对手更消极。我们认为这表明了政策与实践的脱节。我们讨论了从教科书中出现的有限的英语语言变化对学生的教学意义，并指出了继续研究这一问题的不同方法。
In this article, we investigate how different varieties of English are represented in a selection of materials used in upper‐secondary schools in Sweden. A 2011 policy reform of the curriculum for the teaching and learning of English at upper‐secondary level underscored the global dimension of the language, taking a distance from the traditional focus on British English. Findings from our content analysis of two selected textbooks suggest that despite this policy change, emphasis is still placed on standard varieties of Inner Circle countries. When other varieties are represented, the characters that utilise them are often portrayed in a more negative light than their Inner Circle counterparts. We suggest that this is indicative of a policy–practice disconnect. We discuss the pedagogical implications for the students of the limited exposure to linguistic variation in English that emerges from the textbooks and point at different ways to continue investigating this issue.
