Abstract

The relationship between terminology and cultural contexts in English language teaching (ELT) is examined in this article. It looks at how cultural differences might affect how specific terminology are understood and used, affecting both educators and students. This study emphasizes the need for teachers to be culturally sensitive and flexible in their teaching approaches by examining different cultural influences on language acquisition. The results highlight how crucial it is to incorporate cultural competency into ELT procedures in order to improve communication and create a more welcoming learning environment.
