More specifically, language carries knowledge and cultural information and it reflects the substantial and particular
ways of thinking of that people. Thus culture is embedded in even the simplest act of language (Hao, 2000; Kramsch,
1993); it is an inseparable part of the way in which we live our lives and the way we use language. In this regard,
Kramsch (1993) maintains that every time we speak we perform a cultural act. Consequently, there is now, an emphasis
in modern language teaching on cultural knowledge as a basis for language learning. An important requirement, then,
for learning spoken English, is the acquisition of cultural knowledge. Therefore, if students’ pronunciation, grammar,
vocabulary and cultural knowledge are to prosper, they must be grounded in a sound knowledge of the society in which
the language is based.
