In the course of foreign language teaching, the priority should always be given to increase international understanding by enabling the students to enter into the life, thought, and literature of people who speak another language. The objective may vary from one period to another, but it should long be present in the thinking of our minds. The following words attempt to explore the importance of culture teaching and relevant activities so as to raise our awareness of the significance of culture understanding in our teaching.
