As foreign language teachers teach a language and its linguistic features, they are necessarily involved with sociolinguistic aspects of language. When they discuss culture, it becomes apparent that they have different definitions, concepts, and underlying assumptions about culture. Teachers' beliefs need to be explored as a first step toward understanding the relationship between their thinking and classroom instruction and curriculum design. Studies involving teachers of both Spanish and English as a Foreign language reveal that metaphors provide teachers with a useful visual image to represent their personal views and the elusiveness of cultural concepts. This article suggests that teachers become ethnographers investigating their own beliefs and those of other teachers while developing sociolinguistic goals For their communicative programs
