Language teachers are often involved in teaching cultural awareness. One aspect of language where the link with culture is particularly salient is connotation: when working with word meaning in 'authentic' texts, teachers may need to address connotations which are intimately linked to the target culture. Many non-native language teachers feel themselves to be at a disadvantage for this activity. An exploratory study on the connotations of certain French words for a mixed-culture group of French teachers nevertheless indicated that many connotations were shared by non-native-speaker as well as native-speaker group members. This can be explained in terms of both encyclopaedic knowledge and multiple group identities.
