The Relationship Between Culture and Language Teaching
Culture is the characteristics and
knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language,
religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. Cultures hiding in languages,
examines the link between Indonesian language and culture. An Insight into Indonesian
Culture through the Indonesian Language discusses how Indonesian culture
influences the language. Whereas,
Language is a human system of communication
that uses arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, and written symbols. Languages spoken
in Ireland, focuses on the status of the Irish language nowadays and how it has
changed over time. In our big world every minute is a lesson looks at
intercultural communication and examines how it can affect interactions between
people from countries and backgrounds.
Language and culture are intertwined like the
two-sides of the same sheet of paper. They breathe, blossom, shrivel up and die
due to many reasons. Both of them are sensitive and adapt to prevailing
circumstances. Language gives full expression to people’s values and norms, and
since values and norms are dynamic by nature, language has to be in tandem with
cultural transformations. Technological, political, economic and social
innovations require language to enrich its lexicon to capture the new
realities. Indeed, our minds create mental representations of values thanks to
language. The collapse of a value system may sound the death knell to the
language in question. The death of a culture will almost certainly be followed
by the demise of the language associated with that culture.
