INTEGRATION OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Keywords:
contextual learning, intercultural competence, engagement and motivation, holistic approach.Abstract
The integration of language and culture in foreign language teaching is essential for fostering comprehensive linguistic competence and intercultural understanding. This approach recognizes that language learning is not merely about acquiring vocabulary and grammar but also about understanding the cultural contexts in which the language is used. By incorporating cultural elements, educators can enhance students' communicative competence, making them more effective and empathetic communicators.
