Abstract :

This research seeks to study the role of culture and its place in teaching the foreign language, its effect on learning the foreign language, and its effect on learning the Arabic language as an external language. In learning the external language, including Arabic, and its proportional use, the teaching of culture has not only influenced different contexts, but also in places where culture is taught with the external language, which is inevitable, we can use different methods.In fact, teaching the Arabic language outside the framework of the cultural destination language was not useful except that it accompanies some of the characteristics of the culture of that language’s society. Therefore, solving issues related to language and culture helps the quality of the process of teaching the Arabic language as an external language and achieves the scientific objectiveThe important point in learning a foreign language is that, given the culture trends of societies to learn foreign languages, we find that this approach is influenced by culture in the general sense of the word. This research, on the one hand, attempts to study the role of language and culture in teaching the Arabic language by looking at these two concepts. To achieve this goal, we have dealt with the theoretical investigations presented in this area and provide examples to illustrate the discussion. On the other hand, issues related to the process of language teaching and learning are studied in this field. In this research, we relied on the descriptive-analytical method.
