We still try 1) to find out how something works, 2) why something went wrong, or 3) what could happen in other ways. It's in our DNA, and we couldn't assist! Our inquisitive nature is manifested in teaching a language every day, as we explore how language functions, how to use the best teaching methods, or why we have not done stuff in class. We all have learned something valuable in our language teaching classrooms and had something worth sharing with our colleagues. This is pure and fundamental research and in essence, we are "researchers." It's often a problem when teachers hear 'study,' and they reply 'No, it's too complicated for me.' 'For university teachers, that's too complicated.' I heard some of them through my own ears and just isn't real! All can access science. This post will generally describe the role of research in a language classroom, how our research can inform our teaching practices and finally, the ways in which teachers share their work.

Since language and culture have muscle and bone relationship, the existence of one in the absence of another in unthinkable. But in practice, English language teaching has paid less attention to the local culture. It is commonly believed that the insertion of foreign cultural values is not in line with local cultural values. The insertion of local culture plays vital role in promotion of nationalism, different local cultures and local cultural wisdom. Similarly, it provides cultural identity and meaningful context for learning. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to shed light on the importance of local culture in the English language classroom. In doing so, it aims at defining culture, language, shows relationship between them and puts forth some pedagogical guidelines. Journal of NELTA, Vol. 21, No. 1-2, 2016, Page:54-60

Research in English language teaching has highlighted the importance of teaching communication skills in the language classroom. Against the backdrop of extensive research in everyday communication, the goal of this research was to explore whether current discourse analytic research is reflected in the lessons and communication examples of five English language teaching textbooks, by using spoken requests as the subject of investigation. The textbooks were evaluated on five criteria deriving from research on politeness, speech act theory and conversation analysis. These included whether and the extent to which the textbooks discussed the cultural appropriateness of requests, discussed the relationship of requests and other contextual factors, explained pre-sequences and re-requests and provided adequate practice activities. This study found that none of the coursebooks covered all of the criteria and that some coursebooks actually had very inadequate lessons. The results of the textbook analysis demonstrate that teachers using these five coursebooks and designers of future coursebooks must improve their lessons on requests by using pragmatics research and authentic examples as a guide.
