Abstract

The present paper reflects on the importance of cultural awareness in ESP classes and suggests incorporating some cultural elements of American studies into the course of teaching English. To explore the depth of the student’s familiarity with the culture of the target language, a survey was conducted among the students of different departments at Yerevan State University. The paper also suggests introducing a series of classes on American culture, which will complement the core ESP class and give the learners an opportunity to enrich their knowledge of the culture of a country that has the largest English-speaking population.
