The article examines the role of culture in the foreign language curriculum. The author uses three documents to illustrate her argument, including the "Standards for Foreign Language Learning." How these documents relate language and content or cultural learning is examined. The author explores how the role of culture in educational work has shifted since 2010. The study "Context and Culture in Language Teaching and Learning," by Michael Byram, is also examined. The article also discusses how to mediate meaning between and across cultures.
