This study employed a survey design and utilized a mixed-method approach for data analysis and interpretation, ensuring a robust examination of the findings. Data were meticulously collected based on various criteria such as sexism, ageism, social orientation, and values, as recommended by Penny Ur (2009). The collected data were then carefully analyzed using Fairclough's three-dimensional model of discourse analysis, providing a nuanced understanding of the content of the textbook and its implications.The findings show that the strong points of this textbook are; mixed portrayal of gender representation, the age representation in picture is as per the proportion of people in society, and the values like interest in environment, peace, justice, humanity, and moral issues are well addressed. However, when it comes to the social orientation in the texts, it lacks the representation of Nepalese diversity, history, and perspective. It also lacks the focus on the occupational background of the majority of students. The authorship of the text seems biased as the texts written by Nepalese writers are nominal. This thesis includes five chapters.
