Summary/Abstract: Teaching a foreign language by means of culture has become increasingly widespread nowadays. As an English teacher, we should try to keep students interested in the classroom. Culture is one of the best ways of motivation and it also provides students with useful models of authentic use of the language in the classroom. On the other hand, cultural differences may bring some problems into the classrooms while learning a foreign language. This article has attempted to help teachers understand and solve their students’ cultural problems in the classroom. It also aims at examining the students’ ideas about the cultural differences.
