Abstract

Annotation: This article discusses how to help English learners understand
different cultures while learning the language. It explains that teachers, students, and
study materials all play important roles in this process. Teachers should learn about
their both necessary cultures and teach cultural aspects alongside language skills.
Students need to understand their own culture first, then learn about others'. Teaching
methods vary depending on students' ages and language levels, with activities like
using pictures for younger learners and authentic materials for higher levels. Well-
designed materials should cover both language and culture, helping students
communicate effectively. To cut in short, the article emphasizes the importance of
cultural competence in English language learning and provides practical insights for
teachers and students alike.
