In order to learn a foreign language well, students should also learn about the culture and lifestyles of the people who speak the language. Do you agree or disagree?
Under the wave of globalization, to learn a foreign language is of great importance to many people, especially for students. Some people suggest that the culture and lifestyles of native speakers should also be learned for the sake of proficiency. To my way of thinking, Students can largely benefit from these kinds of learning.
To begin with, culture is where language originates, therefore anyone who attempts to learn a language should have some acquaintance with the relevant culture. In some situations, one can not understand the language on condition that the context have some subtle information about the culture beneath it. The slang of “winner winner, chicken dinner” is a case in point. People who do not know about culture about casino in Las Vegas can by no means know the meaning of the phrase. Further more, knowing culture of other people will establish mutual trust, which, to a large extent, is of paramount important in communication.
In addition, lifestyles is a significant factor contribute to proficiency of language. There are numerous slang and jokes in a language that reflect the lifestyles of the people who speaks the language. To master a particular language well, one should know these lifestyles, otherwise he might not know what the native people really mean. For instance, one people travels to a country where he barely knows about the lifestyles, misunderstanding and confusion will definitely generate. It could be the tips he forget to give, or the conventions he do not understand. It could be the foods he can not appreciate, or the humor he can not sense. Whatever it is, it can not be a pleasant journey.
In conclusion, it will be beneficial to the language learner to learn the culture and lifestyles of the people who speak the language. |
