Summary

This article is entitled Othering: A Path for Critical Cultural Awareness in the Language Classroom that is talking about pedagogical activity which should promote the cultural awareness, especially in language classroom. This is because in the language classroom the students are not only learning about language itself but they should know the fundamental things of language a.k.a culture. Therefore, it is really important to teach the students about critical cultural understanding. 

Implementation

Language classroom is about communication which refers to any way of delivering the information. Here, by introducing the term ‘culture’ and the importance of understanding the term ‘culture’, I think the language classroom can be a fun classroom that we can do anything in order to get the goal of communication.
