Session Objectives Participants will be able to: Describe the different components of “culture.” List and explain strategies for incorporating cultural instruction in their lessons. Locate and adapt authentic materials for use in class.

Culture and culture

What is culture? little “c” culture: everything in human life. Also known as “Hearthstone culture” or “culture BBV” (beliefs, behavior, and values) Big “C” Culture: the best of everything in human life. Also known as “Olympian culture” or “culture MLA” (musical, literary, and artistic masterpieces)

According to the Standards… “the philosophical perspectives, the behavioral practices, and the products—both tangible and intangible—of a society.”

According to the Standards… Perspectives: meanings, attitudes, values, and ideas Practices: patterns of social interactions (“what to do when and where”) Products: books, tools, foods, laws, music, games, etc.

Best Practices for Incorporating Cultural Instruction in Your Lessons For Novice and Intermediate students, emphasize the “patterns for living” component of culture. Incorporate cultural instruction in your vocabulary and grammar lessons, rather than teaching culture in isolated, trivial tidbits. Deliberately “place” or “locate” lessons (geographically, philosophically) in the target culture.

More “Best Practices” Design cultural instruction that allows students to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing in the target language. Have students use their own cultures as a point of comparison or frame of reference. Use realia, or authentic materials. Assess cultural understanding as carefully as language is assessed.

Some examples of realia (authentic materials) Magazine and television ads Newspaper and magazine articles Children’s books Television shows and movie clips Songs and music videos Conversations between native speakers Schedules Websites Labels

Resources and examples Instructor samples (PDF) Merlot.org Video clips of simple conversations

Now it’s your turn! In small groups, locate an authentic material and develop an activity for use in class.
