Today foreign language education and teaching ‘culture’ have become part of the English language ... more Today foreign language education and teaching ‘culture’ have become part of the English language training offered to our learners for an improved communication competency in the globalized world around us. Practitioners can teach their learners how to become more culturally-sensitive and mind the important role cultural factors play in communication. The vast number of intercultural activities and techniques that are available provide not only the opportunities for cultural awareness raising but also an increased motivation for language and ‘culture’ learning. The current paper looks into the arguments that support this statement. To exemplify some of the points, we have selected ‘critical incidents’ as a ‘culture’ and language learning activity that will be analysed from this perspective.
