thought, to learn to communicate with others
- What is the culture?
- Culture is defined as a set of ideas, behaviors,
attitudes and traditions that exist with large
groups of people -- such as families, countries,
ethnicities or religions.
- What is linguistic?
- Linguistics is concerned with the nature of language and
communication. It deals both with the study of particular
languages, and the search for general properties common to all
languages or large groups of languages
- holds that the structure of human language effects the way in which an individual conceptualizes
their world
- Every human language reflects the values of the place and culture where
it originated and philosophers and linguists have long debated how this
effects and shapes the mentality of the persons who speak those different
languages.
- What is Applied Linguistics?
- Applied Linguistics is concerned with the systematic study of language structure, the acquisition of
first and subsequent languages, the role of language in communication, and the status of language
as the product of particular cultures and other social groups

- THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING CULTURE IN THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSROOM.
- Culture in Language Teaching and Learning
- language instruction must be grounded in cultural understanding in order
to promote more meaningful and useful language learning. With the
emphasis now placed on linguistic and cultural competence, students have
the opportunity to explore language in contextual breadth and depth.
- What is Culture and why should it be taught?.
- Culture is all complex that includes knowledge,
art, beliefs, law, morals, customs and all the
habits and skills acquired by man not only in the
family, but also to be part of a society as a
member
- is so important that we teach culture because everybody should comprehend and identify the
diversity as a source of knowledge and reflection
- it should be taught to understand the privilege of living with
people who come from another culture, something that we
can all carry out, different kind of environment offers us
today a great opportunity to open that window to other
cultures and to appreciate diversity
- tHEORIES
- Noam Chomsky believed that children are
born with all of the structures necessary to
create language and that they instinctively
know how to use them.
- Vygotsky said that language and
cultural connections precede learning
and cognitive development
- social interactions between people , watching and
learning from other speakers ,is how a child (or anyone
learning a language) acquires knowledge
- Jean Piaget believed that all children are born with a
basic structure for language and cognition and as
children develop they are able to learn more complex
language and concepts
- In Piaget's theory, children construct both verbal and
nonverbal meaning from their environment and culture
and those meanings change as children develop and
mature
