Incorporating Culture into Language Teaching and the Role of Heritage Students
Creators
Description
This study concerns the incorporation of culture into language teaching and the role of heritage students in teaching culture in the language classroom. Cultural factors are deeply interwoven with the language, and are reflected in the forms of the language. Thus, it is essential to teach the students the cultural differences between the native and the target cultures along with the structural and typological differences of the language. The premise of this study is that heritage students can play a productive role in helping non-heritage students understand intercultural differences in a classroom in which both types of students are represented.
