Suggestion is then called for to teachers to enhance learner’s target language communicative competence by integrating culture into the language syllabus. The integration is based on the belief that language and culture are interconnected. Language cannot be taught without culture and similarly, culture cannot be taught without language. By so doing, learners are not only able to communicate with accurate forms of the target language but also able to act and react appropriately when confronted with actions, attitudes, and expectations of representatives of foreign cultures. Based on the essential role of such an intercultural skill to enhance learners’ communicative competence, there is a need then to raise learner’s cross-cultural awareness in order for learners to become a better cross-cultural communicator. This paper presents a number of various activities that teachers can do to raise learners’ awareness on the existence of a number of different cultures and types of culture, and of their importance in all forms of human interaction, in private and working life. The activities are designed based on the cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects of cultural awareness. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
