English Abstract
This study aimed at investigating "problems of teaching English Language Culture in Jordanian Public schools".
The researcher raised the following questions of the study: What are the problems that Jordanian public school teachers face in teaching cultural issues of English in the secondary stage? 2.
What are the problems that Jordanian public school students of the secondary stage face in learning cultural issues of English? 3.
What are the suggested solutions to overcome the problems of teaching the English language culture by Jordanian secondary stage teachers? Two questionnaires were designed to collect data (A teacher's, and a student's questionnaire).
The teacher's questionnaire focused on four domains: (the curriculum, the teacher, the student, and the suggested solutions).
The validity of the instruments was assured by following the comments of the panel of jury's who kindly refered the stated items.
Reliability of the instruments was also assured by conducting a testretest to a selected sample from outside the sample of the study.
The sample of the study consisted of (400) students: (231) female, (169) male, and (50) English language teachers: (37) female, and (13) male.
The researcher used the quantitative method to analyze the obtained data.
The answers to the questions of the study were as follow: The findings of the study showed that the problems of teaching the English language culture in Jordanian public schools already significantly exist among students, teachers and the English language curriculum, which constitutes a gap in learning and teaching English.
The reasons for these problems were due to: the methods of teaching English in Jordanian public schools that ignore teaching the English language culture, the lack of teachers' knowledge about English culture that affects negatively on the students' learning, and finally the shortage of suitable topics related to culture in the curriculum which influences the students' attitude toward culture.
