The goal of this study is to analyze two English textbooks used in Sweden from a sociolinguistic perspective. This is a qualitative study, and the Sociolinguistic Textbook Evaluation Rubric (Atar & Erdem, 2020) consisting of six items was used to analyze the textbooks. The items of the rubric were applied to the textbooks, and the results were discussed in relation to English language teaching. The results showed that the two textbooks in focus were in line with most of the sociolinguistic issues raised in the rubric. However, there were some issues with the linguistic ecology and the case of English as a linguistic capital for the elites. Accordingly, this study contributed to the literature by evaluating two textbooks systematically with regard to sociolinguistic issues, and it offered some suggestions for pedagogy.
