   What is linguo-cultural teaching and learning?
   

Linguo-cultural teaching and learning. For the effective intercultural communication learners should know both the language and culture. Lack of knowledge of cultural specifics has a negative impact on understanding between the representatives of different cultures. That's why, in ELT the co-teaching and co-learning the language and culture is implemented.Co-teaching/co-learning language and culture focus on values and beliefs, on one hand, and attitudes and behaviors, on the other. In fact a social or cultural blunder can be far more serious than a linguistic error when one is engaged in oral communication. There are social contextual factors, stylistic appropriateness and cultural factors which influence the norms and conventions of intercultural communication: 1) social contextual factors: the participants' age, gender, status, social distance and their relations to each other 2) stylistic appropriateness: politeness strategies, a sense of genres and registers; 3) cultural factors: background knowledge of the target language group, major dialects/regional differences, and cross cultural awareness.
