On this
occasion, we are going to deal with both British /American culture. Languages do
not exist in isolation contexts. Each culture is supported by a culture, which
can broadly defined as “the system of shared beliefs, values,
customs, behaviours, and artifacts that the members of society use to cope with
their world and with one another, and that are transmitted from generation to
generation through learning” (The
culture concept).
As a
result, learning a foreign language implies learning about its culture. The idea
is to make a study on some of these cultural issues or topics which we could consider
as the most representative ones from British / American Culture. In order to
achieve our goal, you will have to carry out a task involving the description
of one or several of these beliefs, values, behaviours, or any other topic,
character or celebration that you could consider of interest.
In order to help you to find information about
British culture, Project Britain is a
web page were most common topics are presented. You can also have a look at
another web page to learn English
where you can find plenty of information about British / American Culture so
that you can choose the topic to that best fits your interests. If you should need some information about St. Patrick´s Day you can have a look at Isabel´s Pérez webpage. Next lecture I will
tell you about the way you have to carry out the task. Definition of Culture PPT
