Integrating Culture and Language Teaching: How Do Teachers Perceive of the Objective of English as a Foreign Language Teaching?

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 08

Abstract

The study aimed to understand English teachers’ perceptions on the objectives of English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching and their support for cultural objectives, including promoting intercultural competence. A combination of quantitative and qualitative research approach was used, with 79 teachers from three different provinces participating. The results showed varied perceptions among the teachers towards the objectives of EFL teaching and its implementation. This highlights the need for improvement in the teacher professional development system to address these differences. The variation is attributed to individual differences in opportunities and experiences during the development process.
