This inevitably raises the question as to what it is most important to mediate within the cultural dimension - in its new, broad interpretation: How to Teach Foreign Language?]]> 2021-04-08 18:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397223622 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397271155 2021-04-08 18:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397271155 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397288184 Language cannot be separated from the culture in which it is deeply embedded. By failing to draw students’ attention to the cultural elements and to discuss their implications, the teachers allow misconceptions to develop in the students’ minds. ]]> 2021-04-08 18:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397288184 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397467710 "If culture was a house, then language was the key to the front door, to all the rooms inside.” — Khaled Hosseini, Afghan-born American novelist and physician.

Language is one of the most important parts of any culture.  It is the way by which people communicate with one another, build relationships, and create a sense of community (Greenheart Club, 2015).]]> 2021-04-08 19:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397467710 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397482050 2021-04-08 19:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397482050 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397588657       Greenheart Club.

These may include television shows, news broadcasts, films, the use of different websites or printed materials such as travel brochures, photographs, newspapers, magazines, restaurant menus, etc.

Collocations, idioms, or proverbs: A collocation, as defined by the English Oxford Living Dictionaries in linguistics, means “the habitual juxtaposition of a particular word with another word or words with a frequency greater than chance”.
The term idiom is defined as “an expression which functions as a single unit and whose meaning cannot be worked out from its separate parts”.
A proverb, defined by the English Oxford Living Dictionaries as “a short, well-known pithy saying, stating a general truth or piece of advice”, again may or may not have counterparts in the language learner’s native language. ]]> 2021-04-08 20:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397659097 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397745191 It is recommended that textbook writers and educators consider how to create an
intercultural space within the classroom to help learners develop their intercultural competencies and allow effective communication between people of diverse backgrounds.

More emphasis should be placed on the practical aspects of dealing with cultural content in the classroom. Such activities may involve the selection and use of authentic materials (for example, television shows, news broadcasts, photographs, newspapers, magazines, etc); the design and choice of activities and exercises for teaching culture-specific elements as collocations, idioms, proverbs, or realia; planning and facilitating role-plays or simulations related to culturally acceptable and appropriate for the students. 

Finally, in the context of globalization, there are unprecedented opportunities for contact between cultures. It should be highlighted that English needs common ground to enable English speakers to communicate, it should also allow the use of varieties of English that represent their uniqueness and support language rights in the context of international communication.]]> 2021-04-08 21:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397745191 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397945427 Culture teaching is a long and complex process concerning something more than language use itself. In doing the above activities, the aim is to increase students’ awareness and to develop their curiosity towards the target culture and their own, helping them to make comparisons among cultures. ]]> 2021-04-08 23:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397945427 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397959906 2021-04-08 23:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397959906 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397971820 2021-04-08 23:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1397971820 andreapavon2324 https://padlet.com/andreapavon2324/8y6t3b8ofab64rpk/wish/1400700896 Miss.
