Abstract
This article explores the integration of culture into English language teaching
through effective linguacultural strategies. Emphasizing the deep connection between
language and culture, it presents practical methods such as using authentic materials,
promoting intercultural comparisons, and incorporating cultural events into lessons.
These approaches aim to develop both linguistic competence and intercultural
communication skills in learners. The article concludes that teaching culture alongside
language enhances learners’ engagement, comprehension, and global readiness.
