초록
The purpose of this paper was to explore the topic of teaching culture in a Korean university English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, and determine its impact in enhancing students' language skills. A self-report questionnaire was administered to two groups of EFL students to assess the effect on their language skill and any change in awareness of their own or English culture. Various pedagogical techniques for teaching culture are presented such as role play, culture capsules, games, drama, and use of authentic materials. The researcher provides some observations on teaching two classes of Korean EFL university students, concentrating on the skill of reading. One class used a textbook, and the other class of more proficient students were assigned to read English literature, including Hemingway short stories. During a survey, both of these classes expressed generally positive responses about learning culture. The study concluded with some implications for the classroom.
