Individual written essay
“DO WE TEACH LANGUAGE USING CULTURE OR DO WE TEACH CULTURE
USING LANGUAGE”
Introduction
We will look at the relationship between language, culture and
education, to understand the origin, the union of all and an investigation will
be made where we will find customs, myths, fables, and how language and its
evolution through history acquired, Australia, New Zealand and Haiti are the
cities that we will meet and analyze to find out how the language was given,
how they expressed their thoughts and ideas as well as the social relationships
they had for the progress of their languages.
It is important to recognize that we teach a language and behind the
language a culture, in Claire's video and the article Culture in Language
Learning: Background, Issues and Implications, she explains why culture is
immersed in the language and when a language is automatically taught the
culture of that language is taught, we will try to understand the background,
problems and implications of culture in language learning, we will also train
ourselves to recognize that by teaching a language we are building culture but
without losing our original culture despite time, finally we will try some
solutions for the skin problems that surround the language and makes it
difficult to teach it.
Developing
By teaching the language I impart a culture, this is because when we
begin to see the context for practical learning, the culture comes behind as
there are many words in which we are not accustomed to using, said unknown,
specific phrases that are they speak to refer to something or someone, language
teachers must use foreign words and foreign grammar and in this way we are also
participating in the culture of the current language, for example if we teach
English we build a social context with all the words that We use the themes
that we develop, although many words are similar, if there are some unknown, it
is there that we must handle it in a very didactic and strategic way to adapt
the student to this great unknown world.
Throughout history, communication, cultural exchange, interacting with
other people, creating social groups and sharing different cultures have always
been important. Before the Second World War there was talk of the trichotomy of
techniques, relationships and ideas of the culture then formed six
subdivisions, then in ten themes interaction, association, subsistence,
bisexuality, temporality, territoriality, learning, playing, defending and
exploiting. which clearly define the word culture in this way, the search was
continued to divide this important concept to give it a broad definition and
allow the understanding of the close relationship between language and culture,
reaching the conclusion that culture has been used in two ways, the first is
when culture includes language and the second is when culture excludes
language.
Conclusion
This is why when you know a
language you automatically know its customs, its habits, its beliefs and
values, it learns not only knowledge through the use of the language but to
communicate in our daily life, we learn to believe, to think in a different way
to transmit culture.
On the other hand, the problems that arise are enough, hence the
importance of introducing the language along with the cultural context to the
classroom in a way that students can see as an opportunity to acquire greater
opportunities for study, work, exchange , for this it is necessary to
investigate the role that culture plays in the language, Schumann implemented a
model called acculturation to unite the definitions of language and culture,
giving meaning to the process that has to adapt to a new culture, for this it
is necessary to understand the systems of thoughts, beliefs and emotions of the
target culture, in this way ensures that when students appropriate this
culture, the acquisition of the language is facilitated. (Pourkalhor,
