CULTURE PSYCHOLOGY AND LANGUAGE LEARNING - MICH...

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.
