Cultural Implications on Teaching and Learning English at Graduate Level: A Minimalist Approach
Abstract
The present study focuses on the description of linguistic and cultural implications on teaching and learning English at graduate level. It has been a raising concern from the Pakistani educators that the English language in the educational setting of Pakistan is taught under conditions which are far from being satisfactory is of the view that English language courses in Pakistan are being taught without specified curricular objectives and teachers are trained to deal with the implications that may originate in the process of foreign language teaching and learning. Data has been collected from the pre-test and post-test. The comparison has been made in order to study the variation between the results produced by controlled and experimental groups. The analysis of the study is based on the average mean value produced by both groups. It has been found that the language teaching and learning can never be neutral however, since culture has been regarded as all-pervasive and subconscious, one tends to comprehend and describe one’s own cultural ways as the natural ones. This assertion has been appeared to influence the adult learners greatly as their performance improved when native culture integration in foreign language teaching and learning has been used as stimuli.
