Excellent article about the cultural influence on language use. Just teaching grammar and vocabulary won’t help students understand the pragmatic differences between the target language and their native language.
“If we understand these differences better, we can understand where other people are coming from, while also reflecting on what our own language says about us and how we relate to others.”
