Abstract

According to the results of many research, it is found out that the issue of failing to expose the students to the cultures of the languages that they are learning makes foreign language education is more difficult and less interesting for the students. Besides, these research prove that including cultural aspects into the foreign language curriculum acknowledges students about the other cultures and enables them to develop empathy towards foreigners. Furthermore, it is also proven that enhancing the language curriculum with the cultural aspects makes language learning more sense and much easier for the learners, especially for the primary school students and for those who have never taken any foreign language courses before. For a long time, educators in many countries have understood the importance of teaching cultural information to the foreign language students and therefore, they included in these information in their curriculum. The importance and benefits of exposing foreign language students to the foreign cultures in this study considering the relavent literature within the edecational settings is discussed.
