know…in today's globalized world, we have a lot of chances to meet or work with people from different backgrounds…or cultures And…with the incessant development of social network like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or…the social media like YouTube, Tik Tok, etc., we can approach different aspects of culture like food, music, clothes, movies, nonverbal communication behaviors, daily behaviors, etc and…if we don't know about them, it may lead to misunderstanding or miscommunication when chatting or interacting with other people Or in the daily life, when we interact with different people, we have to be aware of the situations to…behave rightly For example, when you are invited to a party, or a wedding, what you should bring with or what you should wear If you behave wrongly or…differently, it’s not just about embarrassment or shame, it may destroy your relationship with others So, different cultures, different regions or even different situations occurring everyday will have different things to be mindful of And teaching culture in classroom can help me and my students obtain valuable information that can be used for various purposes, not just in the classroom B Well…for me as a teacher, I can extend my cultural knowledge of different countries so that I can provide further cultural information to my students or…make my lessons more interesting or attractive And for my students, they can have a comprehensive understanding of the topic they are studying With the cultural information they obtain, they can prepare for their studying abroad or…avoid misunderstanding or…feel confident when communicating with other people from different cultures and backgrounds Or we can use it for travelling to different countries but on the condition that the pandemic COVID-19 was repelled [*laugh] Q2: From what I see, this textbook is not a good source of cultural content A As you may know, the cultural information presented through visual illustrations or class activities only focuses on the cultural aspects of native English speaking countries like the USA or the UK…while the culture of non-native English speaking countries is not mentioned much so the culture is not diverse enough…Even though the key characteristic of the book highlights the cultural diversity, there is no Vietnamese culture in the textbook B Yes 188

Luan an Do an C I usually use video clips on YouTube, songs or pictures related to the lesson to present the topic or content that I’m going to teach or to clarify the meaning of new words…Sometimes, I use extensive readings from the Internet to give my students more examples in relation with the content of the reading text…also, help them to practice their reading skills or…extend their vocabulary If possible, I also try to bring some objects to class to make my lesson more attractive and lively Q3: Yes A Doing so can help my students easily link what they have just learned to their real life so that they can remember new words quickly or understand the meaning of words that are difficult to explain…They can also obtain more information about their own culture outside the textbook B Not often It depends on the topics or the lesson content that I will teach Q4: Yes A For the warm-up activities…I want to increase their interest and active engagement in the lesson And maybe give them an overview about what they are going to learn next During the lesson, I want to provide further cultural information to my students, not just those in the textbook And these activities also help my students…consolidate the knowledge that they have just learned And hopefully, their cultural awareness can be enhanced to some extent [*laugh] B I often combine the cultural information provided in the textbook with Vietnamese culture in the form of quizzes by using Bamboozle, Kahoot! Or…with the game "Chase the vocabulary" designed by PowerPoint, I use the pictures of new words and mix them with other blank cards, ask my students to say the word and find the card that has the picture TEACHER (T2) Q1: Well, I think it’s just a little bit important A “Motivate! 2” is for teenagers of young age Many of them are not interested in learning cultural contents and lose focus easily However, we can add a few interesting cultural events to make them feel curious and want to know more about the country and language B I think we can learn some cultural information of some countries in the textbook and…use them to solve the exercises in the textbook Q2: No A The content is very limited and outdated The cultural information just mainly mentions countries like USA or UK…in contradiction with the diversity emphasized by the textbook authors This makes me confused 189 Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

Luan an Do an Q1: I think it is important A As the learners are studying language as a foreign language, cultural aspects cannot be acquired naturally and must be taught by teachers, learnt from textbooks, through the tasks or from the other peers B As I have concerned, teaching culture offers a bunch of benefits for teacher and students in my classes…Teaching culture helps my students have a better understanding of the language they are about to learn in terms of its origins, history It somehow raise their curiosity and discovery, hence…motivate them to self-study Teaching culture also widens their vision about the world, helps them realize the need to learn a foreign language Also, cultural contents are important part of every discourse Without context, history, or culture, a language surely will lose its true value Q2: Yes A The book includes many interesting topics that are closely related to English speaking country cultures like films, life with the tribe, British legend, April fool, teenagers' life, and so on They not only include great stories and reading practice but also tasks to apply the grammar points in the unit with cultural knowledge B Yes C I usually ask questions about learners' own reflections with their culture so that they can learn it critically If they want to apply something, they have to think about the appropriateness of their culture Q3: Yes A I want to diversify my students' cultural information and enhance their awareness of their own culture B I usually so Q4: Yes A The activities are somehow repetitive (mainly Q&A) so I have to adjust to make them more appealing B I sometimes organize debates, surveys, Q & A sessions, extensive reading time, etc to teach the cultural content I often use Bamboozle, Kahoot!, Wordwall, board
