Abstract	:	This thesis intends to analyze English language teaching materials used in Bangladeshi setting with a goal to see how gender roles are presented in them. One of the widely used materials in English language teaching scenario of Bangladesh is the textbook series titled English for Today that is implemented in schools and colleges by the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. With the purpose of examining one of the installments of this textbook series, this thesis conducts a critical discourse analysis (CDA) to look at the content of the textbook both on a visual and linguistic level. By analyzing how these textbooks portray gender roles and how the language and the visuals play a part in it, this thesis also focuses on whether the English for Today books reflect gender-role biases and if any relevant dominant ideologies are visible or not. A critical study such as this may prove to be beneficial in the context of Bangladesh, as it can provide valuable insights on the roles these textbooks and other educational materials play for the English language learners and other stakeholders in the country’s English language teaching-learning setting.
