Culture in ELT
As language and culture are indivisible, it is wholly crucial to take in culture in the language
education procedure (Moirano 2012; Wang, 2011; and Cakir, 2006). Correspondingly, Azgari (2011,
p. 889) also references that the native language is cultured along with the behaviors and attitudes of
the communal group, and these techniques and attitudes become term through the language. In this
way the language is a central portion of the action public society. As the result, students cannot
accurately study the language till they have also studied the cultural situations in which the language
happens (Aoki & Granville, 2015; and Choudhury, 2013).Erfani (2014, pp. 318-319) indicates that
language is a culture. Learning a second language deprived of learning its culture looks vague and
imperfect. Cultivating a language does not specify the simple exhibition of some information about
the form, words and phonetics of that language, but it should contain cultural element. Hence, in order
to converse a language well, one has to be able to undertake in that language, and alleged is
effectually prominent.Accordingly, Mekheimer (2011, p. 44) contended that culture was approved to
the center as it became a remarkable facet of the English language education (ELT) curriculum. The
insertion of culture as an imperative component of language presentation to its novices has been
openly itemized in many TEFL resources as one of the key aims of foreign language teaching.
Additionally, the envisioned cultural rudiments are supposed to supply many advantages to learners as
they can enable them turn into both linguistically and interculturally skillful learners (Ho, 2009, p. 72-
73).Therefore, the idea of English education is to promote students‘ comprehensive English capability
by absorbing language and its culture. In efficacious instruction and learning of both language and
cultural contextual knowledge, cultural preamble donates to nurture students‘ cultural consciousness
of target language. Thus, students can expand their English comprehensive ability and cultural
interface of the target language. This finalizes the target of foreign language teaching (Wang, 2011, p.
230).
