Abstract
In the present study, a corpus-based analysis of EFL and Persian as a Foreign Language (PFL) coursebooks was conducted to scrutinize the degree to which curriculum designers in each language tried to implement discourse particles in the dialogues. Applying corpus methodology to discourse in course-books dialogues, the degree of text authenticity reflected in these course-books was evaluated. The findings of our study indicated that discourse particles were relatively abundant in EFL course-books while, except for one of the PFL course-books, they were scanty in all the PFL course-books.
