Abstract:

Using the World Wide Web to teach foreign languages is ever increasing. In addition, the teaching of culture in foreign language instruction has become a standard element in most language classes. The combination of these two aspects leads to a dynamic approach for preparing students to compete in the global job market by making them more culturally competent. Moreover, this teaching technique provides students the opportunity to foster their skills at developing cultural hypotheses and at the same time confirming their validity through the use of web sites.
