Abstract

Although an integral part of language, culture, a necessary dimension of teaching, has been largely ignored in the ELT profession in China. This paper firstly expounds the omnipresent cultural elements involved in the ELT classrooms, and then it points to the assertion that cultural transmission should be regarded as a dynamic part of ELT in China. The ultimate objective of the paper is to draw the attention of the ELT teachers to the cultural facets of language and to urge them to change their teaching approach accordingly.
