Teaching culture and culture learning in the EFL- classroom: From Static to Dynamic

This articles looks at different dimensions of culture teaching and learning in the EFL classroom with particular reference to the Croatian context. Culture teaching and learning have long been a matter of debate in the EFL classroom which has resulted in a shift away from the positivist facts transmission approach based teaching and learning mainly focussed on data about the target English-Speaking Anglo- American cultures. Nevertheless, EFL teaching materials and perceptions of both teachers and learners do not always follow suite to the new directions in culture teaching. Consequently, target culture data can be found in EFL teaching materials and the facts approach to teaching culture is still practiced by many ELT professionals. It will be argued that there seems to be a rift between theory and practice as academics and practitioners often differ with respect to their perspectives on what culture teaching and learning is and which cultures to include.
