Despite the writer‟s great efforts, the study has shown many inevitable shortcomings and weaknesses due to the writer‟s incomplete knowledge of the field as well as limited ability of doing scientific work and some other objective factors such as limitation of time and reference materials relating to subject – matter under investigation. So the further research should be done in the future.

This research has only investigated British and American cultural elements in New Headway textbooks. Therefore, the writer‟s hope is to go further into in-depth investigations about the fact of English speaking cultures in the English classrooms and in daily cultural communication in order to master the deeper and broader cultural knowledge in Britain and America in particular and English speaking countries in general.
