                Language is a part of the culture, more specifically, it is the backbone of the      F3LDZCF74SCFR
                culture. Although, there are some parts of culture which can be exhibited without
                using the language, it is very hard to show the vital parts of the culture without
                using the language. Because, through language culture can express its believes,
                norms, costumes and rules. Also, the culture has its influences on language for
                instances proverbs, idioms, collocations and expressions are existed in it by the
                impacts of the culture. “Culture and communication are inseparable because
                culture not only dictates who talks to whom, about what, and how the
                communication proceeds, it also helps to determine how people encode
                messages, the meanings they have for messages, and the conditions and
                circumstances under which various messages may or may not be sent, noticed, or
                interpreted... Culture...is the foundation of communication.” (Samovar, Porter, &
                Jain, 1981, cited in Abisamra, 2009) So separating language from the culture will
                probably lose its significance and vise verse. Hence, both should be combined
                together so that students will be able to assimilate the conveyed message by the
                teacher and speak in the target language properly. However, the culture can be
                involved in the class in many ways for instance the teacher is able to talk about
                Christmas and
