This paper intended to emphasize the constant need to tailor teaching to today’s educational requirements. Language learning in the 21st century must reflect the diversity of languages and cultures that are met in a formal education setting. Likewise, the roles of teachers are expending due to the need to teach effectively diverse learners. The research that has been conducted concluded that pre-service teachers managed to a great extent to incorporate in their teaching cultural perspectives and were able to evaluate and select teaching resources that presented the deeply rooted relationship between culture and language.References
