The focus of the analysis lies in aspects, cultural references, and themes, which better explain the adjustment of global English materials in contexts and cultures. The results underline the contribution of glocalization to the student's engagement and understanding during this curriculum. This research will offer insights into language teaching and the development of curriculum through the critical importance of glocalization strategies in the teaching of materials for learners to be culturally relevant. The recommendations from the conducted analysis give guidance to educators and curriculum designers to improve the implementation of glocalization principles in language teaching resources.
