The way culture and teaching
languages are related
- Culture and society are influenced by the language
- To be successful in language
learning I need to know about
the culture that language
comes from
- Teachers need to teach how a language operates
technically and culturally.
- Language and culture have a reciprocal relation
- They are connected and one
influences the other
- Language is the way we communicate thoughts,
beliefs, feelings and reactions about everything. It is
used to express all our traditions and heritage; our
particular way to see the world.
- thoughts
- beliefs
- feelings
- reactions
- Culture is totally
embeeded into the
language
- “A language is a part of a culture and a culture is a part of a language;
the two are intricately interwoven so that one can not separate the
two without losing the significance of either language or culture.”
Brown (2000, p.177):
- If we, as teachers pretend to separate culture from language
we are not teaching the language, we only would teach a
sum of information without social conection.
- Therefore it is necessary that teachers could talk about the
culture, comparing similarities and stating differences
between both, target and native language
