Document Summary

Cultures in language education: languages are always used in cultural context. Impossible to teach without cultural implications: teacher decides how cultures are represented by choosing/designing materials. Concept i: cultures as a shared set of meanings . Idea by hall: people belonging to one culture interpret the world in the same way, they can understand each other"s thoughts or feelings about the world, culture as fluctional, heterogenous. The dimensions are linked and intertwined with each other! Issue for teachers: cultures are complex, risk of conveying a stereotypical view: solution: choose variety of materials and genres representing the diversity of cultures, guiding principles: intertextuality and multiperspectivity. Six principles for modelling cultural discourse: relevance of topics and issues. Selected texts need to be relevant for a particular cultural context: openness of text combinations. Learners should be encouraged to research and find additional texts: multitextuality and multiperspectivity. Text combinations should represent diverse voices of cultural discourses: intertextuality.
