Annotation: The role of culture in language teaching and learning is a
multifaceted area of study that highlights the intrinsic relationship between language
and culture. Scholars and educators recognize that language is not only a tool for
communication but also a reflection of cultural values, beliefs, and social norms.
Integrating cultural knowledge into language instruction offers learners a more
authentic and effective way to communicate, providing them with the skills necessary
for real-world interaction within diverse cultural settings.
