Résumé : |
The importance of integrating culture in foreign language teaching has been highlighted in
countless studies. There is a growing recognition that foreign language learners need to be
instructed on the cultural background of the target language to help them achieve the cultural
understanding that would accompany their linguistic knowledge. Despite this, it seems that
the inclusion of culture is still overlooked in many language classrooms. The present study
seeks to examine the situation of culture teaching and learning in the department of English,
Mentouri University-Constantine. More specifically, it attempts to find out whether culture
is given much importance inside the language classrooms, and whether first year master
students are cognisant of the significance of culture in their learning of the English language.
Another aspect of this study is finding out how much students know about the British
culture. In order to answer these research questions, two questionnaires have been submitted
to both the teachers and the students of the department of English. The obtained results have
shown that culture is pushed in the background, notwithstanding the teachers’ awareness of
its importance in foreign language learning. Besides, the students’ questionnaire has
revealed that despite the students’ awareness of the importance of culture, their knowledge
about the target culture has proved to be quite limited. These results come to confirm the
assumption which underlies the present research that first year master students are not
knowledgeable enough about the target culture, mainly because of the little attention paid to
it inside the classroom. |
