WEEK 4

CULTURE IN SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING PROCESS.

Remember that culture implies the foundations of a country, the values, the way to learn, dress, talk even walk or drive come from the cultural background of a country. It is tremendously difficult to learn the keys of a culture behavior, imagine how difficult could be to teach that vast set of behavior slices. To teach and to learn those details you as a teacher must be inmerse in the culture, leaving the life they life before you cross the gap of another culture behavior. The minimum mistakes you make, and the whole essence of a message could be missed forever. It is also important to be prepare for a shock if we are facing a new culture, because many things they have for granted could be difficult to understand for us. Even in this global village that we live, your neighbor could have customs, totally different than those you have in your brain.
