	Culture of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The culture of England is sometimes difficult to separate clearly from the culture of the United Kingdom, so influential has English culture been on the cultures of the British Isles and, on the other hand, given the extent to which other cultures have influenced life in England.
		English art is a term referring to a body of art originating from England.
		It is often considered that English landscape painting typifies the tradition of English art, mirroring as it does the development of the country house and its landscaping.

	Raymond Williams, Keywords
		Culture in all its early uses was a noun of process: the tending of something, basically crops or animals.
		It is then necessary, he argued, in a decisive innovation, to speak of 'cultures in the plural: the specific and variable cultures of different nations and periods, but also the specific and variable cultures of social and economic groups within a nation.
		It is interesting that the steadily extending social and anthropological use of culture and cultural and such formations as sub-culture (the culture of a distinguishable smaller group) has, except in certain areas (notably popular entertainment), either bypassed or effectively diminished the hostility and its associated unease and embarrassment.

	The Chronicle: 9/20/2002: Why Are English Departments Still Fighting the Culture Wars?
		The second major explanation for the culture wars is that they basically have been about politics, set off when '60s radicals took their battles from the streets into university departments.
		Professors of English began to derive a sense of their specialness by enabling students to rise above the materialistic values of their uneducated parents, who were striving to establish themselves in the New World.
		The objects of their attention have changed, but English professors continue to seem to feel as if they are uniquely responsible for the spiritual condition of the nation.

	The Globalist \| Global Culture -- English: Not America's Language?
		The phenomenal spread of English in the last 200 years has not just been the result of the British Empire and American economic power, but also of a third factor: international technology.
		As a result, English is the global language of business, communications, higher education, diplomacy, aviation, the Internet, science, popular music, entertainment and international travel.
		It is odd that during a time when English is expanding across the globe, the most powerful nation in the world is struggling to preserve the language's preeminence.

	Dimitrios' Language & Culture article 5
		According to Straub (1999), what educators should always have in mind when teaching culture is the need to raise their students' awareness of their own culture, to provide them with some kind of metalanguage in order to talk about culture, and 'to cultivate a degree of intellectual objectivity essential in cross-cultural analyses' (ibid.: 5).
		Prior to considering some concrete techniques for teaching culture in the foreign language classroom, it is useful to attempt an answer to the question posed at the beginning of this chapter by providing some guidelines for culture teaching (most of the discussion that ensues is mainly based on Lessard-Clouston, 1997).
		By exploring their own culture, i.e., by discussing the very values, expectations, traditions, customs, and rituals they unconsciously take part in, they are ready to reflect upon the values, expectations, and traditions of others 'with a higher degree of intellectual objectivity' (Straub, 1999).

	So English is taking over the globe. So what. - Americas - International Herald Tribune
		"This is not English as we have known it, and have taught it in the past as a foreign language," he wrote.
		As the world learns to deal with the domination of English, whether through Globish or the more-intensive language training proposed by the British Council report, it is native English speakers who could be in need of extra preparation.
		Though English fluency can seem like the key to the kingdom today, in the future, if there are two billion people who can speak English, the English speaker without knowledge of another language will be at a disadvantage.

		The goal of the course is to develop ESL learners' ability to use English to introduce or describe Chinese culture to people from other countries by having them design and produce a video clip that features specific Chinese food or culture.
		At this stage, each group of students are going to design a scenario related to the cultural topic of their choice and write a script and storyboard for it.
		The students must remember that the goal of the lesson is to develop students' reading and speaking ability to introduce Chinese culture in English rather than the use of the technology.

		If you are not English, you can laugh without squirming, you will finally understand all our peculiar little ways, and, if you wish, you can become as English as we are.

	The bloody shouldered Arabian and early modern English culture Criticism - Find Articles
		The horse portrait was an eighteenth-century innovation, and sporting art was the definitive eighteenth-century English contribution to the history of painting.
		And when a superior kind of horse, the Arabian blood horse, became widely known, the English altered their attitudes toward horses in keeping with the capabilities of this particularly sensitive and potentially rational equine partner.
		As the English came to think of themselves as "Britons" and imperial subjects, they also sought to become one with their horses, to ride light and exert control by means of a silken thread.

	Do You Speak American . Sea to Shining Sea . American Varieties . Cajun \| PBS
		The Acadians (shortened by English speakers to ’Cadians and then to Cajuns) were reviled and feared by their English-speaking Protestant neighbors in the American colonies, so they sought out isolated communities where they could practice their religion and teach their native language to their children.
		More recently, forced schooling in English pursuant to the 1921 Louisiana constitution (which established English as the official language of the state), and the intrusion of mass media into even the most isolated bayou communities, has led to fewer and fewer people speaking French, with a consequent rise in the use of English.
		The French spoken by the older Cajuns was passed on to their descendants, who found it necessary to speak English for socioeconomic reasons, and the syllable final/phrase final stress of French persists to this day in the speech of Cajuns.

	The Very Heart of English? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		This article sets out to investigate the interrelationship between culture, language and native speakerism by focusing on a dictionary which claims to be a dictionary of culture as well as language--the Longman Dictionary of English Language and Culture (LDELC) (Longman, 1992a).
		As you may readily appreciate, this is not such good news for "advanced students" of English, who include, let us remember, the great majority of non-native speakers of English around the world, whether in academia (including teachers of English), business, media or elsewhere.
		It's hard to think of an expression other than "culture" that would better describe these various additional entries and wouldn't make the book title a quarter of a page long; Ardó's own suggestions are certainly no more accurate as descriptions of the book's content, and must also be said to lack a certain snappiness.

	Craig Dionne and Steve Mentz, Editors: Rogues and Early Modern English Culture, University of Michigan Press
		Rogues and Early Modern English Culture is a definitive collection of critical essays on the literary and cultural impact of the early modern rogue.
		The underclass rogue in many ways inverts the familiar image of the self-fashioned gentleman, traditionally seen as the literary focus and exemplar of the age, but the two characters have more in common than courtiers or humanists would have admitted.
		Deftly edited by Craig Dionne and Steve Mentz, this anthology features essays from prominent and emerging critics in the field of Renaissance studies and promises to attract considerable attention from a broad range of readers and scholars in literary studies and social history.
