Description
Summary:The integration of intercultural aspects in teaching and learning on target language is salient as it would benefit both for communicative competence and minimizing the possible misunderstanding between second language learners and the speakers of the target language. The inter-cultural aspects themselves are regarded as the democratic view of learning the language as they look closely and compare the learner's culture and the target's language culture, similar to the concept of ethnographic conversations to enhance inter-cultural learning (Heuser, 2012). The elaboration of the concepts of language, culture and inter-culture as well as teacher's intra-cultural profile in relation to classroom pedagogy is essential. This would provide insightful knowledge for language teacher's professional development and second language learner for their learning process. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
