Abstract
Teaching a new language without teaching its culture is unthinkable and incomplete. The aim of this paper is to explore which techniques and resources for developing intercultural awareness are used in the ELT context at the primary school level in Croatia and abroad. It is also argued that language and culture learning can be much more successfully achieved if students are actively involved in the process of acculturation and acquisition of various social norms and cultural aspects. The first part of the paper aims at defining culture, its relationship with language and the role it plays in teaching and learning English as a foreign language at the primary school level. The second part offers results of the small scale study that was conducted among Croatian and foreign English language teachers. The results of a questionnaire and a structured follow-up interview shed light on the techniques and resources EFL primary school teachers use for raising students’ intercultural awareness, and the topics they mostly focus on in their teaching practice. Overall results suggest that EFL primary school teachers use a limited number of techniques for raising intercultural awareness, and that they neglect topics such as stereotypes or raising tolerance and empathy while teaching culture. Finally, some questions for future research are raised and constructive guidelines for improving culture-teaching practice are suggested based on teachers’ suggestions and teaching experience.
Abstract (croatian)
Poučavanje novog jezika nezamislivo je i nepotpuno bez poučavanja njegove kulture. Cilj je ovoga rada istražiti koje nastavne metode i izvore koriste nastavnici engleskog jezika u poučavanju interkulturalne svjesnosti na osnovnoškolskoj razini u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu. Radom se također nastoji dokazati da je poučavanje jezika i kulture učinkovitije ako su učenici aktivno uključeni u proces akulturacije i usvajanja različitih društvenih normi i kulturnih aspekata. Prvi dio rada definira pojam kulture, njezinu povezanost s jezikom te ulogu koju ima u poučavanju i učenju engleskog kao stranog jezika na osnovnoškolskoj razini. Drugi dio nudi pregled rezultata istraživanja provedenog među učiteljima engleskog jezika u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu. Rezultati upitnika i strukturiranog intervjua opisuju tehnike i materijale koje koriste učitelji engleskog kao stranog jezika na osnovnoškolskoj razini kako bi podigli interkulturalnu svjesnost učenika. Također se navode kulturološke teme koje učitelji najčešće odabiru tijekom poučavanja. Sveukupni rezultati ukazuju na činjenicu da osnovnoškolski učitelji engleskog kao stranog jezika koriste ograničen broj tehnika za podizanje interkulturalne svjesnosti, te zanemaruju teme poput stereotipa i razvijanja tolerancije i empatije u poučavanju kulture. Naposljetku, rad otvara pitanja za buduća istraživanja i nudi konstruktivne smjernice za poboljšanje poučavanja kulture utemeljene na prijedlozima učitelja i njihovom iskustvu u radu.
