INCORPORATING CULTURAL ASPECTS IN EFL TEACHING

Abstract

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the issues regarding cultural dimension in foreign language teaching, English in particular, that due to its worldwide reach and increased recognition proves to be a global language and dominant lingua franca for international communication both in general and specific contexts. Regarding this, scholars and researchers as well as experts in the field put forward their reflections, views, and proposals on matters relating to culture-centered approach to teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). In this paper, we share commentaries and ideas that we consider to be the most pressing ones during the plenary meetings and the follow-up workshops.
