Abstract
|
:
|
Teaching a foreign language to learners has several bases and considering the culture of the target language is one of them. Whenever teaching a foreign language has not been accompanied by teaching the foreign culture, many problems have been reported, so far. The media provides an excellent source for discovering a new place and making the students more culturally competent. This study investigated the role of media on Iranian EFL learners' perception of culture. Data were collected from 100 EFL learners by means of a questionnaire. 100 university students including 50 females and 50 males majoring in English Translation from Islamic Azad University Khorasgan Branch and University Isfahan, Iran participated in this study. After the statistical analysis had been made, the frequency and the percentages of the answers were calculated. Results showed that more than a half of the participants knew about the cultural features. The findings demonstrated that television and the Internet seemed to be the most influential teaching instrument which was selected by the participants. The result of t-test showed that there is no significant difference between male and female EFL learners in perception of culture. The results of this study suggested that Iranian EFL learners' awareness must be raised in terms of the importance of the target culture..
