This paper attempts to clarify some of the major ways that the language-culture connection is conceived of in the field, and it will also outline the influences that those conceptions may be having on both course content and language pedagogy. The writer argues that the ways in which the language-culture connection is theorized and put into practice needs to be better understood so program designers and teachers can make more informed choices about how they address it. The paper concludes with several recommendations about how to go about making those choices.}, pages = {57--71}, title = {The Language-Culture Connection in ELT : Theory and Practice}, volume = {8}, year = {2004} }
