Abstract

Culture is inevitably learned and discussed during the English language lessons and is the confluence of language, values, beliefs, and behaviors that pervade every aspect of a person’s life which is continually undergoing changes. No matter which strategies the teachers are going to use, they are by no doubt mediated by different cultural influences. Every teacher has their own style of teaching, and all good teaching in the world consists of one important goal, making connections with the students. Very often English language teachers have students from a culture different than theirs. Some lesson observations will be presented in this short theoretical and empirical study. The aim of it will be to show that the communication with students from different ethnic backgrounds can be difficult because teachers sometimes are not interculturally trained and lack understanding of the student’s culture and their lifestyles.

Key words: language, culture, teaching, lesson observations, reality, myth.
