The role of socio-cultural aspects in my teaching scenario is about comprehending the background and context of my students in order to include those life experiences into our classes. I have had students from other cities and cultures, and I consider I did not take advantage of that opportunity to foster meaningful learning processes. However, I am now aware of it and I appreciate and embrace different cultural backgrounds more than ever. Sociocultural aspects in the English class are one of the most valuable things we should consider when planning our lessons. When doing so, our students feel that their identities and biographies matter. Sociocultural differences and similarities enrich our classrooms.

What is the role of the sociocultural aspect in our teaching scenario?

In our teaching scenario we should foster the cultural awarennes through the respect of super diversity. In this sense, the role of the sociocultural aspect is to give us an understanding of the own culture and the other's culture. Furthermore, it has the role of connection between different identities in which we could exchange social experiences.

Culture is an important element in society. From the teaching scenario, we can not undermind the impact that culture has not only in learning but also in teaching. Sometimes, teachers tend to focus only on those elements from USA or UK. In that way, we are just leaving the multidiversity that characterizes our country. English is not a superior language, but it is a key in order to explore the world through the language. Even from our own context, the socio-cultural aspect allows us to start exploring cultures without leaving behind our own culture. From meaningful teaching practices, we can include the socio-cultural elements starting from our own culture. It is not easy, but not impossible. The main challenge is to show students the possibility to explore different perspectives and cultural elements through the language.

The role of the socio-cultural aspects in our teaching scenario can impact our classes and our classrooms. Being aware of the cultural background of our students can help us to create inclusive class activities, getting to know our students better, respect each other's opinions, customs and understanding the variety of cultures that can be in the classroom.

It plays a very significant role in our context, and we need to take into consideration some of these points due to the incorporation of it being very important and necessary with the ever changing ways of the world, and to also promote respect:

-Cultural relevance: the incorporation of the student’s cultural background, now more than ever with the large group of immigrants that have come to the country and a deep dive into the different cultures that already exist in our context.

-Language development: the role of language in cognitive development. Teachers can manage this by encouraging dialogue, discussion, and language-rich activities in the classroom but not staying only in the surface level, but really encourage cultural knowledge and research.

-Social interaction: It focuses on the importance of collaborative learning and interaction between them, creating a sense of community and shared knowledge among students.

The role of socio-cultural aspects helps us to know the context of the students, to teach cultural and linguistic diversity, to open students' minds and to give them a broader perspective of cultures, and perhaps to avoid racism.

From my point of view socio-cultural aspects plays a essential rol since this is going to be the bridge that connect us with foreign language. I strongly believe that people usually try to learn a foreign language to interact with foreign people although learners and teacher gives a lot of importance to the grammatical aspect which I will not deny is important but what are we doing with all that rules and structures?? Are we just memorizing or applying it with a purpose?. I actually believe that socio-cultural aspect helps students to dynamize that language, that is, to be aware of elements such as the context, the audience, the tone, the word selection and who those elements enhance my communication process.

From where I stand, the role of the sociocultural aspects in our English classroom is to remind us that languages are the means by which we express ourselves, but they do not determine your culture. You do not need to change your behavior or your beliefs just because you are learning another language. That is just a way to show yourself to the world in different languages.

Socio-cultural aspects can provide multiple information about the environment we are rounded. Not only do the components that are part of the scenario are important for it(classroom environment, materials, etc.) but also the individuals who bring these components. Socio-cultural aspects are a representation of what we are and what we live, where multiple ways to see the world stay together for improving the different teaching strategies a teacher can have.

English teaching is nowadays taught and learnt around the world, which means those cultures are getting influence by the anglophone societies, which at the same time is leading to colonialization and processes of acculturation.Therefore, the socio-cultural aspect role in my teaching scenario is to foster insights in who we are, what does it mean. Likewise, to promote new worldviews and tools to see and move through the world.

From my perspective, the role of the socio-cultural aspect in our teaching scenario is fundamental for the development of the communicative competence that is not just being competent in the linguistic and/or discourse part of the language. The socio-cultural aspect must play an important role in our classes, since we are language teachers and language is full of nothing but culture. It is essential to show our students that English and any other language is diversified and that it is imperative to understand it from different angles in order to communicate appropriately in different contexts and with different people.

The role of the socio-cultural aspect in our teaching context is that it allows us the opportunity to approach both our own and external culture from a deeper perspective to generate critical reflection processes in the agents involved. It also allows us to recognize diversity to generate processes of recognition and respect.
