Question

According to the most recent trends1 in foreign language teaching around the
world, there is an implicit assumption that language and culture are intrinsically
connected. The relation between language and culture is inseparable due to2 the
nature of the following concepts: (a) language exists inside culture and (b) culture
cannot exist without the language it belongs to. Consequently, the general expectation
one might have is that foreign language teachers should be aware of this connection,
and should be prepared to adequately deal with language and culture in their foreign
language classes. ________3, this does not seem to be the case. It can be observed
that culture is still not taught appropriately or widely in foreign language classes.
