  1. 42 CHAPTER 6. CONCLUSION 6.1 Summary of the study This study has mentioned the relationship between language and culture, the cross-cultural factors in RC lessons, barriers caused by these factors and ways to solve these problems at DL3 high school. Based on the instrumentation as tests, survey questionnaire and follow-up interviews, some important findings have been discovered. From the data analysis, firstly, this study has argued that culture and language are inseparable part and therefore culture is relevant to the teaching and learning of a second language. Language and culture are intertwined to such an extent that one cannot survive without the other. It is impossible for one to teach language without teaching culture. Secondly, almost all the students and teachers are aware of the important role of cross-cultural factors in RC lessons. However, it also points out that the cultural difference gives rise to cultural problems. To solve these problems is to make the situation better. This study gives some suggestions for students, teacher as well as the textbook compilers In more detail to find solutions for these cross-cultural problems culture must be entirely integrated as a central component of reading learning. English teachers should identify key cultural items in every aspect of the reading lesson that they teach and then incorporate them usefully into a lesson or a syllabus while teaching reading by giving supplementary activities for developing students’ cross- cultural awareness In fact, getting over cultural difficulties has been considered to be of great help to the teaching and learning of RC skills. With this study, the researcher hopes that it will make a small contribution to better the current situation of teaching and learning reading at DL3 high school. 6.2. Conclusion In conclusion, the study has centered on cross-cultural elements in English reading teaching and learning with an effort to provide an understanding of cross- culture in English language education for students at DL3 high school. This thesis has shown a significant relationship between culrural background knowledge and English RC. After providing background on cross-culture in the classroom and the pedagogical literature, the cross-cultural barriers were found out based on the analysis of the cross-cultural factors. It was argued that the solutions for these problems are that the teaching of culture should become an integral part of foreign language instruction. Teachers as well as learners should raise their awareness of the importance of the target language culture. Cultural awareness should become an essential part of foreign language education. Using the activities which stimulates cultural awareness will keep learners motivated and generate positive learning attitudes. Only in this way, can we get better understanding of the differences among cultures so as to eliminate the comprehension barriers of cross- culture communication and improve our overall abilities in English reading. This leads to better language competence.
