In the teaching learning process, language and culture are considered interconnected. It can be stated that a language is a part of culture and a culture is a part of a language. Language can not be taught without reference to cultural context. By understanding by socio-cultural contexts, learners can encounter the factors of cultural differences. English teachers should acknowledge English expressions to the learners in English cultural contexts.

Moreover, the development of the learners’ cultural awareness leads them to more critical thinking. The learners are more creative and have a sensitivity of culture in producing English utterances.
