Cultural Awareness
Cultural awareness in language learning refers to understanding and appreciating the cultural context in which a language is used.
It goes beyond simply learning vocabulary and grammar to encompass an understanding of the customs, traditions, beliefs, values, and social norms of the people who speak the language.
Cultural awareness is crucial for effective communication and intercultural competence.
It also helps learners to interpret language nuances, idiomatic expressions, and non-verbal communication cues that are deeply rooted in culture.
