It has been offered some language techniques used in the English classes. In the present paper, 100 examples of quotations were analyzed. The using of quotes in the English textbooks helps to present the interesting aspects of English culture. The cumulative function of quotes is in their ability to accumulate and generalize extra lingual information. Thus, the quotation usage helps to motivate students to study English as a language of professional development and social inclusion in the English culture.

students to learn English better and to know more about the English culture.
