Descrição
Resumo:In this article, we discuss the implications of learning culture in the teaching of English as an Additional Language. Thus, we bring concepts related to the culture term in order to defend the idea that developing an additional language does not just mean acquiring vocabulary and grammar. It is also necessary to develop intercultural skills to understand the rules that govern the social interaction of the language under investigation. Nevertheless, this article also brings the concepts of stratification of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), which discusses the notion of contexts. This notion is fundamental because linguistic choices, made by each user of the language, are associated with these contexts.KEYWORDS: SFL. Culture. Context. Additional Language. English Language.
