Authors : Mohamed Melouk .
Abstract
There is no doubt that the number of people speaking English is constantly growing. It is used in many countries today either as a first language or as an alternative means for cross-cultural communication, roughly 700 million people speak it. Learning cultural studies will certainly raise the students’ awareness in English language teaching concerning the target society. The present communication aims at shedding light on some benefits of having cultural studies as part of the English syllabus, for the need for cultural literacy in English language teaching ELT arises particularly from the fact that the Algerian students seem encounter significant problems in communicating with native speakers, for they are not exposed to cultural elements of the society in question. Teaching English seems senseless, inaccurate and incomplete if learners know nothing about its native speakers.
