PEDAGOGICAL CULTURE AND ITS ROLE IN SOLVING PEDAGOGICAL PROBLEMS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

Pedagogical culture, encompassing a teacher’s professional competencies, ethical values, reflective practices, and methodological expertise, plays a decisive role in enhancing the effectiveness of English language instruction. Its development enables educators to address a wide range of pedagogical challenges, including cultural disconnects, communication barriers, and instructional isolation, by fostering culturally responsive teaching, collaborative engagement, and reflective practice. This thesis examines the concept of pedagogical culture, its components, strategies for its development, and its practical applications in English language classrooms, highlighting its impact on both teacher professionalism and student learning outcomes.
