What do you think is the relationship between language and culture?

Language and culture are closely related because culture is the basis of any teaching and learning of a language since it is not only limited to learning the grammatical bases or how a sentence is constructed, but also allows us to understand the language completely from expressions in real conversation.

2.Which cultural expressions do you know countries have through language?

I think it is what we could call the flokore, idioms and idiosyncrasy, which is how the popularity of a culture is manifested, these jargons have their particularity when conceiving a language, one of these expressions in English could be 'It's raining cats and dogs' that if we traduction to our jargon it would be the same as when we say it is raining wind, however it is necessary to know the particularity to be able to associate it.

3.Why do you think is it important to have an oral tradition in a country?

Oral expressions are important because they allow and make it possible for a culture to transmit its own knowledge through generations through language.

4.What do you think, do we teach language using culture or do we teach culture using language?

I believe that to learn a language it is necessary to learn to think like a native speaker, not only to learn the basic notions of a second language, that is, the language would be a prior notion that leads us to create culture, Therefore, wherever we find works We will find the language as a precondition in this sense, it could be a complement.

5. Do you take into account culture in the strategies you use in your English classes? Can you give me some examples?

Of course, for example with movies, listening to music, these tools help me a lot in teaching

 INTRODUCTION Culture is part of the language of the human being and this is acquired through the environment as it grows or participates within a social circle, this is how culture can transform the identity of people (language, customs, creeds, among others) acquired previously Brown (1994: 182). In a globalized world like the one in which we find ourselves, the human being is susceptible to adopt customs different from those acquired in his childhood, this exchange of cultures, in many occasions causes conflicts and misunderstandings, to understand a little and to deepen in the subject it is important to take into account the concepts that frame these phenomena. We see then that culture and contact with other cultures put the individual in an intercultural role where empathy and flexibility are very important in order to understand and integrate one's own with the foreign and at the same time challenge one's own culture. Further on we find examples of the culture of some cou

Relationship between language and culture and culture

 DO WE TEACH THE LANGUAGE USING THE CULTURE OR DO WE TEACH THE CULTURE USING THE LANGUAGE? INTRODUCTION This reflection refers to the relationship that exists between language and the importance of cultural factors when learning a second language. For Krams (1993) the cultural aspects of a language are essential and must be integrated into the teaching of a foreign language, since by introducing these cultural factors, the learning of languages is favored within the socio-cultural context in which they are immersed, since one of the declared objectives of teaching foreign languages beyond the practical purpose of learning a language for communicative purposes is that the learner broadens and is able to know the world beyond their own cultural environment, learning a new language acquires full meaning to the extent that it allows the speaker to expand their own vision of the world and develop their social personality through access to a new reality (Curricular Plan of the Inst.

COURSE IMPORTANCE

This course allowed me to know the importance of cultural spheres when it comes to teaching-learning a second language. It allowed to know the different positions of different authors who concluded that the integration of culture is necessary to teach the target language in the best way possible and allow it to be learned correctly and successfully. Through the activities proposed in the course, it was also possible to show that in the daily experience of teaching a language a mixture of different cultures and cultures is observed. cultural models that make learning the new language make sense, not just for reach an understanding of who the other is but to understand their way of seeing and behaving in different situations. The course provided the opportunity to learn important concepts such as (intercultural competence, empathy, communicative competence), in which the teacher finds support, knowledge and attitudes for the process of learning and teaching a second language of languages
