THE ROLE OF CULTURE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

This paper examines the critical role culture plays in English language teaching (ELT), arguing that cultural understanding is inseparable from language proficiency. It looks at theoretical frameworks, discusses practical classroom implications, and highlights opportunities and challenges in incorporating culture into ELT. By reviewing current literature and pedagogical practices, the article emphasizes that teaching English effectively involves teaching the cultural nuances embedded within the language. In today's globalized world, ELT is not just about grammar and vocabulary; it is also about fostering intercultural competence.
