Linguo-cultural aspect in learning foreign languages

Abstract

Culture has taken a special place in language teaching and language learning. It has been recognized
that culture and language are closely interrelated and language could be used as an important medium
through which culture is expressed.
One of the ways of stimulating students’ curiosity toward the target culture and their own is exploring culture-based activities by using authentic materials and our own experience as EFL teachers (English
as a Foreign Language).
These activities contribute to enriching the students’ knowledge of the target culture and lead them
to a more critical understanding of both their own and other communities.
