Abstract
The first purpose of the paper is to explore the actual teaching practice of cultural components in language teaching classrooms in some schools in Hanoi, Vietnam. The second purpose is to better understand the teachers’ perceptions towards the integration of cultural teaching in their foreign language teaching practice. A qualitative research approach was selected to answer the research questions. Five observations were conducted along with semi-structured interviews with teachers who had been interviewed. The findings show that not many activities were employed to teach cultural components in these classes. The cultural features were mainly dealt with through facts, visual images and some brief connotation explanation. However, it was surprisi ng that most teachers believed that the teaching of culture is useful for students in developing their communicative competence.
