Abstract EN
-The crucial and repeating subject in reference to cultural setting is the possibility of the importance, structures connected with time, place, individual and conditions.
This paper will examine Gage's Dictionary of Canadian English that comprised two different meanings for culture which are appropriate to our discussion.
The former definition covers the usual classic studies i.e., formal culture and the latter refers to deep culture.
The paper recommends a need for implicit knowledge of these elements and their relation to communication through language.
The paper also discusses two types of cultural contexts that are crucial in multicultural communication, (1) the external context and (2) the internal context .The paper also examines three important issues that are vital for quality language learning (1) How far is the classroom a natural setting for both language and culture learning? (2) To what extent is the classroom a setting for both language and culture learning? (3) And how is second or foreign language learning viewed by the society, especially in the multicultural milieu?.
The paper reports that a mere ritual of adding cultural component to a basic language course is not sufficient.
It is the mutual fitting that counts which the paper attempts to improve language learning through cultural immersion in ELT classroom.
