The major goal of this study is to suggest some possible classroom activities for Korean primary school teachers of English in both pre-service and in-service programs in order to enhance their students’ English proficiency levels. The underlying assumption and belief of this article for foreign language classroom activities is that language is a part of culture, that understanding cultural connotations in the target language is a crucial factor required for successful cross-cultural communication, and that such understanding can be best achieved through sufficient exposure to the target language culture, involving optimal interactions with native speakers. The classroom activities suggested in this article are: 1) watching video: soap opera, 2) internet surfing, 3) book reading, 4) having a native speaker’s lecture, and 5) sharing one’s travel experiences in the target language culture. With regards to these activities, this study suggests very detailed effective instructional techniques and materials to use in teaching cultural connotations found in the target language, providing some examples for Korean teachers of English in the use of authentic materials in their English classrooms, which have been designed for native speakers in real situations.
