- W1551542425 abstract "1.IntroductionCulture is one of the essential elements that distinguishes a society from most of otherbcommunities, and it is a complex combination of elements, such as language, history, literature, art, folklore, etc. In general, culture includes all the social practices that bind people together but also those which distinguish them from others. The culture expresses the ideas, material and spiritual values of the community that ar e acquired over and are reflected in the culture. Proverbs are combination of universal and national -cultural factors, which are interwoven. The proverbs are common to all communities and though each culture has its own set of proverbs, the same wisdom can usually be recognised in a different culture. (Gozpinar, 2014) Proverbs are a matter of educating feelings and emotions of the society. It is the 'training of the heart and mind' and consists in developing social ly accepted feelings and emotions. Like poetry, sometimes it is 'caught' rather than taught. There are several factors (social background, age, sex, status, etc.) in the formation of a culture, and those are important factors for the interpretation of proverbs in order to achieve better results in our lessons related to proverbs. It is essentially a matter of creating the right atmosphere, imitation and learning by example. Proverbs help moral development which includes both thinking and behaving morally.Proverbs make our speech fluent, natura l and colourful, can allow us to perform certain communicative functions, and can increase our understanding and awareness of the target language and culture. Ignorance of those expressions can create communication problems. Most researchers nowadays belie ve that the study of modern phraseology is impossible without taking into account cultural aspects of language (Piirainen, 2007: 208).In the research done by Can (2011), when the subjects were asked in what situations and for what purposes they were using or would use English proverbs, they could mention a wide range of situations and purposes as given below:* For communicating with native speakers better* For creating humour* For expressing oneself better and for being understood better* For supporting the arguments* For showing that you have a good command of the language and that you have learnt it well* For beautifying and embellishing the language* For exemplifying* For describing an event better* In oral presentations* For comprehending native speakers* For writing effective compositions* For expressing many things with few words* For warning someone politely* For summarizing* In daily and informal communication with close friends* For giving adviceThe comments above illustrate how proverbs can be incorporated in lan guage classrooms in secondary schools to help the development of students' language knowledge. Most importantly, their knowledge of proverbs can enable them to have access to native speakers' culture so that the learners can enjoy language learning and teaching in a more meaningful way.Native speakers mostly tend to use simple, concrete, everyday vocabulary when they address the second language learner. That seemingly positive attitude of the native speaker unfortunately cannot help the second language learner understand and learn more about the culture and the proverbs of that nation. However, if a language teacher doesn't design a systematic plan, or give special attention to teaching proverbs to foreign language learners, and if foreign language teachers also avoid using or handling these cultural expressions, students cannot learn and use them appropriately. English teachers may have problems with the textbooks they are using in classes due to the lack of exercises dealing with proverbs, so there is a need for teachers to create activities to teach various language skills. …" @default.
