Summary/Abstract: Over the past years, many books, articles, journals have been written concerning the role and the importance of teaching culture in ESL classes. It has been said that language implies culture, yet there are many other aspects left out during the English classes due to the need of teachers to focus their attention primary on language, to the detriment of achieving the proper cultural objectives. Therefore, this paper offers some definitions of culture, underlining at the same time its importance in ESP classes.
