Language and Culture
The International Math Teacher



  1. Culture as contained in the semantics and pragmatics of the language
    • The language carries cultural information and interpretations
    • Special problems when using a lingua franca
      • Not culturally neutral
      • Semantics and pragmatics are influenced by the interlocutors’ mother tongues

  2. Culture as context for the use of language
    • Re-contextualization
    • Learning materials dealing with the target country
      • Excursions to the country where the language is spoken

  3. Culture as a theme in teaching
    • Any theme can be taught in any language
      • Globalization /internationalization
      • Interculturality
Language and culture are bound together?


Based on: Risager, Karen, ”Hænger sprog og kultur nu også sammen?”, Sprogforum, Særnummger 1996, pp. 18-22
