This paper discusses the relationship between language and culture, the goals and the approaches to convey culture in language teaching in order to improve linguistic competence and intercultural communicative competence for learners. The paper also presents a number of methods and contents to convey culture in teaching Vietnamese for foreign learners; to clarify the socio-cultural communication information, the typical utterances or behavior patterns which are used in communication as well as cultural features which are reflected in Vietnamese vocabulary; and at higher step to assist students in naturally expressing this sociocultural knowledge in the Vietnamese language.
