Culture is a theory about the world, the people in it, and the ways in which goods are ought to be distributed among them. It is the complex whole that includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, laws, costumes, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Awareness of FL culture should be viewed as an important component of EFL learning/teaching. It involves a gradually inner sense of the equality of cultures and an increased understanding of one’s native and target cultures. Therefore, it is a necessity for teachers to include cultural components in EFL teaching to maximize students’ learning. Teaching culture is considered the fifth control skill in language teaching/learning. So , certain cultural awareness strategies can be effected on teaching other language skills'.Downloads
