languages. To fully appreciate a language, we need to understand
the culture of the people who speak it.Language is the method of
human communication, either in written or a spoken form whereas,
culture is the idea, values and beliefs we have in our
society.Communication or language is a mechanism for channeling
culture and cultural bonds that reflects and reproduces culture.
Different ideas are born form different languages within the same
culture.Culture is something influenced and impacted by the
language whereas, language is formed by the culture of a society.
Similarly, language is not only an expression or a means of
communication, but a component of a culture that makes it unique
and specific.Our values and speech shapes our identity and
personality. It not only does represent the individual identity, but
represents the identity of where he/she belongs to.Humans are born in
the same way and experience the same stages of life. However, the
difference is the environment in which each individual grows up and
the accent which he/she becomes familiar to. This creates a specific
identity of a certain values and speech that differs from person to
 person.When we learn a new language, it doesn’t no specifically
involve only the alphabets, the word arrangements and rules of
grammar. It also involves the specific society’s customs, values and
beliefs.So, while learning or teaching a language, it is very much
important that the culture where the language belongs to.

>>> Subculture refers to cultural patterns that set apart some segment of
a society’s population. It can be based on age, ethnicity, residence,
sexual preference, occupation or any other factor (in short, GROUP). For
me it is advantageous because subculture only deals to define groups for
some purposes and goal but does not really create divisions to the whole
society.

the knowledge and the skills acquired by the students and the industry needs.

industry. We obtain education to understand and to meet the needs of
the industry, so that people could live accordingly. But of course,
knowing is not the end of it, there should be balance. Hence, you
should have known what are the present needs of the industry, and
from that you should act.
