Conceptions of culture in language teaching: reflections for teacher education
ABSTRACT. The increasing intercultural communication through digital technologies in the world today makes us reflect on the need to rethink the relationship between language, culture and society in language teacher education. In this article, we discuss some of the results of a qualitative research conducted in the context of the ‘Teletandem Brazil’, Unesp, in a continuing education course for foreign language teachers of public schools. The results show a tendency of teachers to treat culture as a body of knowledge about the products, practices and perspectives of a people, usually associated with a homogeneous, static and conflict-free nation-state. The impacts of these results for language teacher training point to the need for a review of the knowledge base of teacher education with regard to teaching and learning culture in the foreign language classroom, in order to dissociate it from the idea of a homogeneous, transparent and fixed body of knowledge.
