Abstract:
Students of EFL are
exposed limitedly to English language as well as its culture. Although, in
borderless world ‘culture’ could be learned almost anywhere, not limited in the
classroom, students’ awareness towards it should be enhanced. This abstract
reported the analysis of observation on 6 English teachers’ teaching
performance regarding their effort in providing students with effective English
teaching (EET). One of the aspects of EET is introducing target language
culture in the classroom. The observation revealed that all teachers agreed
that introducing the culture of target language is inevitably important.
However, only one out of 6 teachers performed a real practice of his awareness
of introducing culture in his classes. His introducing culture were inclined to
involving or bringing a native speaker of English in his classes. His genuine efforts
is a reflection of his awareness of the importance of introducing culture of
the foreign language the students trying to learn.
