The Implications Derived From This Study Suggest Teachers' Flexibility At Adopting A Range Of Teaching Approaches That Might Also Need To Be Creative In Its Nature In Order To Impart Cultural Information To The Young Learners. Simultaneously, A More Pro-active Solution Could Be Taken At The Administrative Level By Carefully Scrutinizing The Cultural Elements Embedded In Imported Texts To Adopt Cultural Suitability For Young Learners.
