Creating Information and communication technology based learning materials for supporting teaching of culture in English as a foreign language education

Abstract

It is agreed that we have to teach language and its culture together. The aim of the current MA thesis is to create learning materials for teaching culture in FL lessons. The materials introduce practical situations from everyday life and are meant for Year Eight and Nine students. The created learning materials should prepare learners to communicate in intercultural communicative situations. Additionally to developing students’ cultural and language competences, the materials promote reflectional and ICT skills. The collection is designed as a WebQuest taking into consideration the Task-Based approach. Moreover, the materials are digitalised and suitable for both: contact lessons and distance learning.
