Description

In today's globalized world, the importance of English teaching has escalated significantly. Embracing the mantra of "learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, and learning to be," the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training has incorporated cultural education into English curricula for students across various levels, especially those in universities. Nonetheless, an investigation involving a questionaire and observations administered to 4 lecturers and 4 classes with 76 students at Vinh University in Nghean province revealed a lack of emphasis on integrating intercultural aspects into English teaching. The results show that many teaching plans of teachers have integrated cultural teaching into both lesson objectives and the teaching process, however, this integration is not fully implemented. This study aims to tackle this issue by effectively combining cultural education with English teaching, thereby nurturing university students' multicultural communication abilities.
