Beschreibung
The process of diversification of English language classrooms and its accompanied challenges stay the core issue in contemporary education. What has become evident is that pure language learning is insufficient for effective communication. Communicative competence, which is a well-admitted goal in learning the English language, is defined as the linguistic competence and behavioral expertise. Understanding of the interlocutor takes place only with the knowledge of language and culture from which the language derives. Classroom is the place where theories, approaches, methods and techniques are tested for practical efficiency, validity or uselessness. This book, therefore explores the effects of culture-sensitive English language teaching on the acquisition of the English language; whether culture-sensitive English language instruction contributes to students tolerance towards culture and formation of positive attitudes and how much culture is reflected in popular English language textbooks. The book should be especially useful for both expert and novice teachers, as it discusses many possible ways, strategies and techniques to insert culture into language teaching.
