Why teach culture? Andy, were you disappointed when your daughter was born and she had brown eyes and brown hair?
Little c culture Big C culture Products Shoe style Dog sweaters Practices Greetings Negotiating People Cashiers Art Architecture Music Dance Literature Film While important, Big C culture doesn t let us look into the day-to-day lives of the cultures we are trying to enter by learning English.

C1 The students home culture C2 Any outside culture In English textbooks, often the U.S., England, Australia, Canada, etc.
Benefits of looking at C1 Builds the ability for students to talk about their own cultures usually ignored by textbooks Allows students to build pride in aspects of their culture Allows students to critically analyze possible negative aspects of their own culture Allows students to see their culture from an outside perspective This should enable students to critically analyze outside cultures with more sensitivity.
Benefits of using these Frameworks 1. Relatively easy to use 2. Versatile 3. Allow the teacher to exploit textbooks to a deeper degree 4. Help build the mental processes that enable students to be more culturally aware and better able to function in a 21st century, globalized world
Framework 1: Cultural elements 1.Products 4.Communities 2.Practices 3.Persons 5.Perspectives Adapted from Moran, P. Teaching Culture: Perspectives in Practice. Heinle ELT, 2001
Cultural Elements Framework Allows students to isolate elements of culture for further exploration. By looking at one element in detail, students can build the ability to recognize and start to do the analysis on their own.
Products = Things created and used in a culture Examples: chopsticks, convenience stores, para-para dance Practices = behaviors, social interactions Examples: greetings, showing respect, exchanging business cards Persons = People acting within a culture Examples: salary man, taxi driver, grandmother Communities = Groups of people sharing values and behaviors Examples: sports fans, construction workers Perspectives = underlying beliefs of a culture Examples: respect for teachers and elders, wabi sabi
Framework 2: Cultural Knowings Knowing About description What happened? What did you see or hear? What are the details? Knowing How participation What did you say? What did you do? How did you do it? Was it appropriate? Knowing Oneself response What do you think? How do you feel? What more do you need to know? Knowing Why interpretation What are the insider s perspectives? What are the outsider s perspectives? How does this compare with your culture/other cultures? Adapted from Moran, P. Teaching Culture: Perspectives in Practice. Heinle ELT, 2001
Framework 2: Cultural Knowings Framework Based on Kolb s Experiential Learning Cycle, the Cultural Knowings Framework takes the student step by step through a cultural element they have seen or experienced. 1. Describing the cultural element allows them to see it from multiple angles based on direct evidence. 2. Analyzing the description allows understanding to develop from multiple views/perspectives. 3. Responding to this allows the students to explore their own reactions and more importantly, create questions to find out more.
Using Video Modern TV shows, movies, video clips, music Voice of America: Off the Highway https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=F9peVFiI DXo
As a Listening Lesson Following a Pre-listening Tasks, During Tasks, Post- Listening Tasks Framework (PDP) Pre-Listening: Step 1: Activate background knowledge, create interest and pre-teach any vocabulary that is essential to complete the tasks
During Listening Task 1: Gist Play a short snippet of the video and ask the students to complete a task that demonstrates they understand the basic theme of video: Choose the best title Choose the most accurate summary Circle the items the woman probably does NOT own
During Listening Task 2: Find all the cultural elements Play the video (Tip: keep it short! 1-3 minutes) Have students write down all the cultural elements they find. Have them compare with a partner. Check the students answers aloud and give language support, if needed. As a class, try to identify the cultural element that is the most interesting, strange, or mysterious.
During Listening Task 1: Find all the cultural elements 1.Products 4.Communities 2.Practices 3.Persons 5.Perspectives Adapted from Moran, P. Teaching Culture: Perspectives in Practice. Heinle ELT, 2001
Im a hippie. Lets just golets start from that. And that means back to the land, connected with the earth. I live in a small cabin, off the grid on 20 acres. I have solar panels. I have no running water. I have a spring that I get my water from. I have space! And animals and earth and sky and eagles and coyotes and life is good!
Identify the cultural mystery Products Practices Persons Small cabin Solar panels Natural spring (for water) House on 20 acres of land Living off the grid Owning an outside dog Hippie Communities Hippies Locals (?) Perspectives Living off the grid is better than living in organized society Sacrificing modern conveniences for freedom is a good thing Pride in one s subculture Feeling connected with nature Adapted from Moran, P. Teaching Culture: Perspectives in Practice. Heinle ELT, 2001
During Listening Task 3: Knowing About description Consider the most important cultural element: What happened? What did you see or hear? What are the details? These questions help develop the students ability to pick out a greater level of details for a more complete comprehension

Post-Listening Task 1: Knowing Why What does it mean? How can you explain it? What are the insider s perspectives? What are the outsider s perspectives? How does this compare with your culture/other cultures? interpretation
Post-Listening Task 2: Knowing Oneself response What do you think? How do you feel? How does this affect you? What more do you need to know? With a partner, create two questions that you could ask the woman from the video to better understand her lifestyle.
Lets think about that lesson What is the role of the teacher when using these frameworks? Could these frameworks be used to teach reading? Writing? Speaking? What homework could you give with this? How would you adapt this lesson for your students? For younger learners? What elements of your culture do you think your students would benefit from thinking more deeply about?
Reflection time Based on your experience today, what are your thoughts on teaching/learning culture? Have they changed? Do you want to try anything this this week?
