Abstract
Culture has taken a special place in language teaching and language learning. It has been recognizedthat culture and language are closely interrelated and language could be used as an important mediumthrough which culture is expressed.One of the ways of stimulating students’ curiosity toward the target culture and their own is exploring culture-based activities by using authentic materials and our own experience as EFL teachers (Englishas a Foreign Language).These activities contribute to enriching the students’ knowledge of the target culture and lead themto a more critical understanding of both their own and other communities.
