    Gender representations in ELT coursebooks have attracted great attention in education in recent years, as the world pays more attention to equality in all fields, yet despite the increasing emphasis on gender roles, most coursebooks still have contents that reinforce traditional gender norms, and educators are using these books without realizing this danger. Examples in various studies confirm coursebooks' discriminations towards women and positive treatments towards men. It is very dangerous, especially for young people who are ready to be shaped, to hinder their gender-based potential and try to include stereotypical behaviors. The aim of this study is to investigate the genderrepresentations of two ELT books (for Beginner and Intermediate Level) that are used not only in preparatory classes of private and public universities but also in private courses. In order for these two coursebooks to be examined, seven different categories have been put forward by the researcher: the presence of male and female figures in the photographs, the analysis of the professional situation in the book, the domestic role, the frequency of females in the video sections, free-time activities, celebrities used in images and the choice of adjectivesfor both genders. These categories are not the work of a single person, but were put forward with the contribution of previous researchers, and the diversity of the seven categories was determined by the researcher herself. The results have been analyzed and the findings have revealed that some progress has been made towards more widespread gender representation in recent years. It is also iobvious that the authors of these books have also paid attention to gender issues, and they are aware of gender discrimination and traditional gender stereotypes .
