If we are asked whether culture should be part of language courses, the answer is an unquestionable “yes”. The ideal situation is to develop language classes in which basic cultural information is integrated systematically and completely into the course content. However, until integrated cultural materials become available, language teachers will have to be responsible for incorporating as much culture as possible into their classes while continuing to use language-based texts. Given the reality of the present situation, the basic decision facing the teacher is how to combine culture with the other material to be learned in the class. Learning the language itself is a full-time task. How can room be made for more material? The answer to this question is certainly not an easy one, but it is hoped that the teacher will recognize the need for developing a course in which culture is a basic component. Techniques have been developed that can be inserted unobtrusively into the class without disturbing the remainder of the lesson plan. On those days when more time is required for lengthy activities, the culture portion of the class can serve as a change of pace to the more typical language routine. How much time should be spent teaching culture? In this author’s opinion, the answer to that question depends on the teacher and the students in the class. The type of cultural material presented and the manner in which it is organized will also influence the amount of time spent.
