Research-Oriented Short Presentation
Teaching culture in EFL class is essential. However, problems arise as teachers attempt to incorporate it into their classes: target-culture is indefinable and it could lead to create a stereotypical image of other countries. Therefore, cultural teaching in EFL classes should focus on raising awareness of the students rather than teaching culture explicitly. This presentation will explore the outcomes of cultural teaching done in first-year university English classes for the purpose of raising cultural awareness.
