The relationship between foreign language teaching and culture

Abstract

Language and culture are closely intertwined and inseparable. Learning a nation's language means simultaneously approaching their culture. Educators need to pay special attention to the cultural factor in the teaching process. Culture is an inseparable element, playing a key role in guiding students to reach a level of natural communication. Therefore, it is necessary to choose appropriate teaching methods, design systematic activities, and introduce the culture implicit in the language in a systematic way. With the right awareness, effective approaches and systematic activities, educators need to research and summarize practical experiences. This contributes to solving the challenges in language teaching, which is always closely linked to culture. This article, based on practice, will analyze, search for and propose optimal solutions to the problem: How to integrate cultural factors in foreign language teaching to improve learners' communication effectiveness.
