Teaching for Cultural Understanding Leads to Success
Finally, after having presented the different problems that foreign language teachers face in teaching culture and suggested possible solutions, we hope that in the next century culture will be truly integrated with language study so that it can become a strong component of our curricula.
There is no question that the successful integration of culture and language teaching can contribute significantly to general humanistic knowledge, that language ability and cultural sensitivity can play a vital role in the security, defense, and economic well-being of this nation, and that global understanding ought to be a mandatory component of basic education.
