Abstract

The article questions the interaction between language and culture learning. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the importance of sociocultural factors on learning English as a foreign language. Thus, learners of English need to establish a wider view of the language, considering the features of the culture it is utilized. The major objective of a sociocultural approach is to prepare learners for intercultural communication and dialogue between cultures. The sociocultural strategies might be seen as one of the most efficient ways for learners to achieve sociocultural competence within English language communicative competence.
