Abstract
Culture and language are closely related, they are two sides of one coin; teaching language automatically means teaching culture. Notwithstanding the close relationship that holds between language and culture needs no longer to be demonstrated because language is essentially rooted in the reality of culture to the point that social life can not be explained without constant reference to the broader contexts of verbal utterances. The main objective of this study is to explore the cultural challenges that hinder the process of teaching and learning the English Language in Algerian Secondary Schools and to suggest solutions to overcome these problems. More perticularly, the present study sheds light on the problems of teaching and learning the English Language Culture in Secondary Schools. A discriptive method has been conducted.

The target population of our study is Secondary School teachers of English and pupils.the results of this study obtained reveals that results of the study asserted that both teachers and students have their own perspectives and views about teaching and learning a foreign culture through learning English as a foreign language.
