This study aims to analyze the representation of multicultural values ​​in the English for Nusantara textbook. A content analysis method was employed to conduct this study. The data were collected from the English for Nusantara textbook, focusing on Chapters I and IV, selected through purposeful sampling. The result of this study show that the textbook portrays the multicultural values of customs, daily life, and society through visual, textual, or a combination of both. The findings indicate that the textbook predominantly emphasizes customs, with 55.36% of the representations, particularly in Chapter I. Society values ​​​​constitute 35.71% of the content, especially highlighted in Chapter IV. Daily life activities are less represented, accounting for only 8.93%. The study implies that educators should integrate additional activities and discussions around these themes to enhance students' cultural appreciation and understanding. The implications of these findings for educators and textbook author include the necessity to incorporate a broader range of daily life examples and detailed textual descriptions to complement visual representations. This approach can foster a richer and more engaging learning experience, promoting a more holistic understanding of multiculturalism among students.
