Each language contains a new form of life and thought. Language learning is also a process of culture transmission. A linguist should be aware of the fact that the language and culture of the society are the interconnected parts of a whole. In this context, an educator should not only aim at teaching a language, but also help students to develop their personality by taking their cultural background into consideration. <br />Method: At this point, this review paper looks at the cultural elements and their importance in foreign language learning contexts. Findings and Results: Cultures have properties that are unique to them and these should be taken into account in the process of education. The emotions and ideas that we want to express in the target language make the teaching of socio-cultural structures a necessity, in addition to the teaching of the rules of the language. Conclusion: In this respect, it is evaluated that benefiting from the data put forward by folklore will increase success in language teaching. <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Hacettepe Üniversitesi}
