“…Research on L2 teacher beliefs has shown that beliefs can vary among individuals in the same setting (Peiser & Jones, 2014) and individual teachers' beliefs can also change over time (Kohler, 2015). Many L2 teachers prioritize linguistic objectives over cultural objectives (Byram & Risager, 1999, Stapleton, 2004 and may even question the inclusion of cultural objectives (Duff & Uchida, 1997;Keating-Marshall & Bokhorst, 2018;Luk, 2012). Nevertheless, the majority of L2 teachers are favorably disposed toward teaching about culture (Byram & Risager, 1999;Sercu et al, 2005), many find it interesting to teach about culture (Byrd et al, 2011), and many believe that teaching about culture can act as a motivating factor for students (Castro, Sercu & Mendéz García, 2004;Luk, 2012).…”
