Abstract

Abstract

The effective acquisition of a foreign language fundamentally relies on the successful integration of its cultural dimensions. 'Culture' is a crucial component of language teaching and learning, as it imparts knowledge about the ways of life, traditions, and mentalities of people in the target language to learners. Therefore, it is vital to be aware of cultural content from the basic level of a language course to enhance learners' communication skills. This article aims to analyze the presence and absence of cultural content in Spanish as a foreign language course materials at secondary schools in northeastern Thailand. The researchers studied relevant theories and the Instituto Cervantes Curriculum Plan (Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes—PCIC) to integrate and develop appropriate cultural content for the courses. The findings revealed a lack of certain cultural content in the PCIC, such as politics, religions, literature, education system, etc. Consequently, language teachers must ensure that cultural content is appropriately included in the materials to improve the intercultural competence of Thai students, whose culture differs from that of the Spanish or Hispanic culture.
