Cultural Studies has a history of some 100 years in Germany, where it is known as Landeskunde or Kulturkunde, during which time it has been widely debated and written about. Yet its status is still low, relative to language teaching, and it is not certain that it will survive. The paper looks at the principal reasons for the predicament of Landeskunde and identifies the steps necessary to rectify the situation. Landeskunde tends to be eclectic in content and method, with the result that its status as an autonomous discipline is in question. It is trapped in a vicious circle because the only avenues of development open to it relegate it to a subsidiary role within language education. If it is to develop in the long term it will be necessary for it to define its objectives independently of language learning, as the understanding of other cultures and the promotion of international understanding. |
