Language ideologies are the practices of culturally, socially, and historically shaped views, images, and attitudes toward language. The political characteristic of English is certainly a sort of cultural hegemony, embodying the use of the target language into experiences, interpretations, and reciprocally confirmed assumptions. This study aims to discover the views of Turkish students and teachers on the inclusion of political compounds in English as Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks. One who studies phenomenological issues may inquire how an experience is like for those who experience it. Accordingly, this study is based on a phenomenological research design which supplies consciousness of phenomenon or facts by making individuals get closer to the world around. The results of the study show that users of the related textbooks bear negative views on the representation of political issues in both global and local EFL textbooks. Further, textbook users need to be involved in the preparation of curriculum and have the freedom and right to express their ideas on the content of textbooks and curriculum. Thus, teachers, lecturers and policy makers should develop new policies on the representation of political topics in both EFL and ESL settings.
