CULTURAL COMPETENCE IN LANGUAGE TEACHING MATERIALS FOR NON-PHILOLOGICAL FIELDS

Аннотация

The need for language teachers to become more culturally competent in their instruction has grown as a result of the expanding globalization of language instruction. However, cultural competence is frequently left out of language teaching materials, which makes the language learning process less authentic and contextually relevant. Investigating the significance of cultural competency in language teaching materials, especially for non-philological directions and putting forth a framework for doing so are the goals of this article. Key words: Language instruction, cultural competency, communicative approach, cultural exchange, global understanding, cultural awareness, intercultural communication
