- Description
- In response to the new changes at all levels in the world globalisation, each nation in Asia-Pacific region shows its eagerness to build and develop sustainable education and to maintain harmony in relationships with different nations. As a realisation of macro level policies, foreign language education policy places its focus on the promotion of foreign languages teaching for intercultural communication and calls for a change in language teaching. However, there exists a gap between language policy and pedagogical practice in the context of Asia-Pacific countries. Focusing on the complex question of how best to teach cultures in EIL, this article proposes to answer a question of what should be the most appropriate approach to teaching cultures in English language education in the sociocultural context of Asia-Pacific countries in the light of existing models available. It attempts to resolve the problem of culture teaching in Asia-Pacific countries’ English language education by describing the political model. Two main points will be made clear, including what components to be included in the model, and why the model can be considered an advanced model to suit this context.
