Özet:

 



















As language and culture are
 two inseparable entities, language teachers
 need to take the culture of the target language into consideration during their teaching practices in
 order to have learners who are able to speak the language well and understand
 the social context in which it exists. Also, as 21st century
 teachers, we cannot deny the efficacy of technology integrated courses to
 maximize learning. Grounded on this information, this research aimed to find out the effects of videos
 on the knowledge of the target culture of EFL students and to analyse
 students’ perceptions about learning culture
 of the target language. The participants of the study included 60 students enrolled at a public university in
 Turkey during 2016-2017 academic year. Both qualitative and quantitative data
 were collected by means of a Target Culture Knowledge Test and an attitude
 questionnaire followed by semi-structured interviews regarding students’
 perceptions about learning the culture of the
 target language. The results of the study pointed out that using videos
 enhanced students’ knowledge about the target culture. Also, the results
 indicated that students had a positive attitude toward learning the target
 culture. The findings can contribute to curriculum developers,
 teachers, instructors and teacher educators
