In second/foreign language teaching a very important aspect of contents of teaching is culture, the unity of language of culture. Much has already been done in this direction, but still much has not been investigated. The goal of the article is to find out whether Georgian students think that too much / insufficient teaching about English-speaking countries’ culture is offered at school and what aspects of teaching about the culture students expect to get. A conclusion is made that it is necessary to pay more attention to teaching about culture in general and in particular to that of various English-speaking countries (not only the UK and US, as the traditional approach is), to develop various language activities, especially speaking ones, that will make teaching about culture interesting and engaging, and to provide a variety of culture-related topics.
