This has been largely facilitated by the emergence of English as an international language which, in turn, has raised a variety of evolving issues with implications for ELT pedagogy. These include the need for intercultural communication skills, appreciation of cultural diversity, preservation of indigenous languages, and fostering cross-cultural understanding. In short, a globalized world requires not only linguistic fluency, but also cultural fluency. This paper describes a language and culture course, designed and implemented for the first time in spring, 2011, which seeks to address these issues. In addition to providing information on the teaching context, this paper describes the rationale for the selection of goals and topics, outlines the pedagogical approach and assessment techniques, and offers examples of student feedback.
