THE IMPORTANCE OF CULTURE IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Аннотация

Culture, conveyed from one generation to another, defines the identity of a
society and distinguishes it from other societies. Nostrand defines culture as the
"ground of meaning", the codes of behavior and characteristics of a society. Brooks
defines culture as “the sum of all the learned and shared elements that characterize
a societal group.” “Language is a vital constituent of culture”. Robinett concurs with
the view that culture and language cannot be separated.
