Authors : Boumaza Halima . Messerhi Mahbouba .

Abstract

Language and culture are strongly linked; therefore, many scholars and language educators highly encourage the incorporation of cultural components in EFL curricula. In this regard, the current study explores teachers' perceptions’ on integrating cultural aspects into EFL teaching and its effect on enhancing learners' cultural awareness. To meet the aim of this study, a quantitative descriptive method was employed, through which a questionnaire was administered to forty English instructors from the Department of English at 8 Mai 1945 University-Guelma. The obtained findings indicate that the majority of teachers hold positive attitudes toward the subject matter, as 87.5% agreed that developing learners’ cultural awareness would, in turn, foster their communicative competence. Consequently, it is vital to reconsider the role of culture in EFL classrooms and give it much attention in language pedagogy.
