Culture Lesson Plan

Devise a "linguocultural" lesson plan that emphasizes culture as the context for language learning. In other words, your lesson plan should explicitly focus on cultural information while also teaching vocabulary, grammar, and phrases. Be sure to identify your students (their level and their language) and your goals for the lesson plan (e.g., the cultural and linguistic items to be learned). Your lesson plan should also incorporate the notion of activity sets (i.e., related activities that extend and develop culture/language goals).

Here are some lesson plans created by the beginning teachers.

Día de Muertos in Mexican Culture (Spanish)

Cultural Explorations of Russian Commercials (Russian)
