The importance of teaching culture in a foreign/second language classroom is nothing new. National Standards for Foreign Language Education (1999) includes it as one of the “5 Cs” (communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, communities), and have made it a priority to incorporate the study of culture in the classroom curricula.
This presentation discusses how to integrate Japanese culture into our language teaching, and recommends strategies for infusing cultural issues in classroom instruction. The topics include the relationships among the products, practices, and perspectives of both traditional and contemporary Japanese culture. By the end of the presentation, attendees will increase their knowledge and understanding of culture, being provided with ideas to improve their teaching skills and methodologies and to develop materials for their classrooms. The presentation is designed for both native and nonnative speakers of Japanese and for teachers at all levels of instruction. Teachers of other languages may benefit as well. In addition to regular materials, the presentation will introduce media-based thematic units on contemporary Japanese culture and society for use in the classroom.
