Abstract
Bu makale yabancı dil öğretiminde kültür öğretimi konusunu vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu anlamda ilk olarak yabancı dil sınıflarında kültür öğretiminin nedenleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Böylece, kültür öğretiminin sebepleri örnek bir diyalogun da yardımıyla irdelenmiştir. Bundan sonra, kültürel farkındalığın geliştirme yolları ele alınmıştır. Bu aşamada kültürel farkındalığı arttırmak için faydalanılacak ders türleri, sınıf içinde ve sınıf dışında yapılması gereken aktiviteler işlenmiştir. Yabancı dil sınıfında kültür öğretmenin sorunlara sebebiyet verip vermediği sorusuna ise bir sonraki bölümde cevap aranmıştır. Sonuç bölümünde ise yazar, konu üzerinde kendi düşüncelerine yer vermiş ve dikkat çekilmesini gerekli gördüğü noktaları öne çıkarmıştır
