What Teachers Say about Addressing Culture in Their EFL Teaching Practices: The Vietnamese Context
Nguyen, Long; Harvey, Sharon; Grant, Lynn
Intercultural Education, v27 n2 p165-178 2016
This paper examines Vietnamese EFL teachers' beliefs about the role of culture in language teaching. It also considers how they address culture in their teaching practices in a Vietnamese university. Ethnographic data collected from semi-structured interviews indicated that opportunities for culture to find its way into EFL classroom activities were still limited. Priority was given to teaching language knowledge and skills, while culture played a minor role only.
