PEDAGOŠKE IMPLIKACIJE INTEGRISANJA INTERKULTURNOG OBRAZOVANJA U NASTAVU ENGLESKOG JEZIKA
PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE INTEGRATION OF INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to show to what extent the different cultural backgrounds of students, whose native language is not English, might contribute to the improvement of the process of teaching English if the cultural elements of the native language were integrated with the elements of culture of the English language as a foreign language. The article is the result of the analysis of conclusions drawn from an empirical investigation of the influence of the native culture of English language students in a dialectic interaction with the obligatory cultural elements characteristic of English language native speakers (an integrative part of the content normally included in the process of teaching English) while working with a text based on the communicative approach. The mentioned empirical research was conducted in the period from 2004 to 2008 in the south of Serbia, which among other things, was aimed at investigating the pedagogical implications of the integration of intercultural education in English language teaching.
