Question: What is the role of cultures in foreign language learning?

Answer:

Through the study of other languages, pupils gain a knowledge and understanding of the cultures of the speakers of those languages. In fact, speakers of 2 nd languages cannot truly master knowing that language unless they have also mastered the cultural contexts in which the language occurs.

Standards: Cultures Gain Knowledge and Understanding of Other Cultures

Standard1: pupils demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the practices and perspectives of the culture studied.

pupils are focusing on the practices derived from traditional ideas and attitudes (perspectives) of a culture. Cultural practices refer to patterns of behavior accepted by a society and deal with aspects of culture that may include rites of passage, use of forms of discourse, social class structure, and use of space. They represent the knowledge of “what to do when and where”.

Standards: Cultures Gain Knowledge and Understanding of Other Cultures

Sample Learning Scenario Demonstrating Standard 2.1:

Grade 6: pupils in a Uzbek class re-enact a English wedding. Pupils receive printed information from their teacher about English marriage ceremonies. This includes a marriage contract, the sequence of events, and the script participants read during the ceremony, along with supporting vocabulary in Uzbek and its English derivatives. After discussing the information, pupils choose roles. After pupils enacted the ceremony in Uzbek, they compare Uzbek weddings with weddings in American culture.

Standard 3: Pupils demonstrate understanding of the nature of language through comparisons of the language studied and their own.

Pupils focus on learning the linguistic elements in the new language. This learning enables pupils to examine English and develop hypotheses about the structure and use of languages. From the beginning stages of 2 nd language learning, pupils can compare and contrast the two languages as different elements are presented. Activities can be systematically integrated into instruction to assist pupils in gaining understanding and in developing their abilities to think critically about how languages work, similarities, and differences.
