Finally it compares an English course book written by a native speaker writer and another student's book with a Hungarian author. It shares experiences on how teachers can help students by pointing out major areas of culturally-influenced behaviour such as greeting or degrees of politeness to make their own culture explicit and to realise that other cultures might have different underlying values. Comparing the students' books I came to the conclusion how important of developing intercultural communicative competence in pupils.
