Importance of the course Language and Culture


Language and Culture by Prof. Kanchan Luthra - DGMC

The learning of a second language is based on many aspects that interfere with the process of acquiring a language and that bring with them such important aspects as the roots from which the language has emerged within a society or a group of people becoming part of the culture of each place. Today, after reading and analysis maintained during this academic semester, I conclude that:

·         Learning a language is always linked to culture and everything that involves this process

·         The form of expression of a language can be given from different points since language is not only learned grammatically or structurally, language is a system of communication that is given and spread in many ways such as: oral, written, by signs etc.

·         Culture is a completely broad content in a pedagogical process. Really when you know a culture you can learn in an easier and more systematic way a new language because you understand why and how of a form of communication

·         The teaching of a language is completely linked to the knowledge of new customs, or thoughts of a country or society such as language.

·         In spite of the new technological advances and innovation in the way of learning or developing a country, its culture will always be established in the ancestral ones in those who know for sure the origin of things and traditions.

·         Culture must be fully grounded and prescribed in the process of learning a second language.
