This paper aims to describe the teaching practices in middle school and to analyse them in an attempt to understand teachers’ reluctance to teach culture, with reference to On the Move ELT course book. It explores the attitudes of English language teachers towards cultural components inserted in textbooks and how they address them in class. Data analysis revealed that there was a discrepancy between the English Language Teaching curriculum and the teacher’ practices in the classroom. Besides to a number of obstacles that lay behind teachers’ reluctance to teach culture, in general, lack of training seems to have a great share in their inability to devote the time required to deal with cultural components in EFL teaching.
