1 Introduction

Crystal (1997)points out that English gains a specialposition as either an officiallanguage or a school subject to study as a global language in over seventy countries.With the spread of English, there arises a question of teaching culture with languagein English class. In this respect, English Language Teaching (ELT)materialsemphasize on teaching English in a cultural context (Byram and Fleming, 1998;Byram and Risager, 1999;Lange and Paige, 2003 as cited in Nault, 2006). Thesetextbooks usually approach native English-speaking cultures with the notion thatlearning English involves gaining knowledge of native English-speaking cultures.Given the fact that more and more people speak and write English in the worldregardless of national borders,a learning of native English-speaking culture has begunto be questioned.We can surmise that students may study British culture to gain bettergrade inthe British-based Cambridge exam.
