Tóm tắt

Culture and language are two intertwined elements in education especially in language teaching. It is the interrelation between the two factors that makes integrating culture in foreign language les- sons taken for granted. The inseparable combination of language acquisition and cultural awareness is found at all levels of English education from primary to secondary. This paper aims at reviewing the published literature on the importance of teaching intercultural competence (IC) to young language learners from different theories in teaching and learning a foreign language. The study will provide an overview of the necessary and natural roles of IC in language lessons for the teachers in the field.
