This study was framed with qualitative research and aim to explore the presence of intangible and tangible cultural heritage in the visual materials (painting, photography, drawing, digital drawing) and to examine their distribution according to their types. The data to be analyzed was obtained from two textbooks for senior high school students entitled English Skills for Better Future for grade tenth and eleventh in senior high school. Content analysis was applied to analyze types of visual materials that present cultural heritage. The result showed that 163 visuals material were determined as 84 photos, 14 digital drawings, nine brochures, 35 advertisements, four flyers, nine forms, 16 proverbs, and one riddle. Cultural bias and stereotypes have not been detected in the images presented in both textbooks with the same title for 10th and 11th grade students in senior high school. The images presented are suitable for students at the senior high school level. Visual has an aesthetic value and aims to bring students to know the various Indonesian culture elements presented in these textbooks. Teachers and students who use books published by PT Grafindo Medika Pratama as a learning resource, this study might help in mapping the type of culture presented in the textbooks.
