Abstract
Despite the importance of communicative competence in foreign language education, achieving language skills without proper recognition of culture is unstable and dysfunctional and inevitably inter-cultural differences between nations in teaching language create a suitable context for growing cultural misunderstandings. The present study accentuates on the importance of teaching culture in language learning and challenges of its false and aggressive convey in books of teaching Persian language for English speakers. Then after a brief review of the position of Persian language teaching in England and America, the present study divides and analyzes the Persian language books of these both countries in terms of dealing with Iranian culture. This study continues with the introduction of badly moods that are ascribed to Iranians in these books. These attributes are away from the logical framework of language learning, mutual understanding, and respect to the community of the native language speakers. Finally, some guidelines for transmitting culture truly and avoiding Culture clash are proposed.
