This paper argues for integrated culture and language study in institution-wide language programmes (IWLPs) at UK universities. Building on the assumption that all foreign language learning at university level should to be based on the principles of LSP (languages for specific purposes) teaching, the paper suggests that culture learning should be an integral component of language modules for non-specialist learners, who are increasingly likely to need culture skills in the university and the workplace. The culture focus, it is argued, will not only support linguistic competence and learner autonomy, but will also give coherence to and raise the profile of institution-wide language schemes. In combining culture and language learning, a skills-oriented and learner-centred approach is suggested. The paper goes on to discuss the targets, skills and materials of culture-integrated language learning and suggests a framework for adapting existing curricula and materials to independent culture and language study. Particular emphasis is given to the use of information technology and the Internet in supporting autonomous culture and language learners
