This book demonstrates that culture and language are closely
intertwined and argues that they need to be taught simultaneously from
the very beginning of acquiring a second language. In the first part
of the book, the author explores the close links between language and
culture through looking at concepts such as ethnosyntax and gendered
language. The discussion continues by examining the relationship of
biculturalism and bilingualism, and the effects each can have on the
other. This leads into an exploration of interculturalism and the idea
of a third culture or interculture. The second half of the book
demonstrates how culture and language are linked to cognition by
looking at cognitive processing, emotions, and motivation in second
language acquisition. This discussion illuminates some of the ways in
which culture can influence the learning of a second language, and
also provides fascinating insights into how culture and language
affect memory and its role in the learning process.
