The researcher has used the pragmatic approach tools to highlight all the cultural impacts and elaborated the importance of making Yemeni teachers aware of this approach. Culture could really play an important role in the quality of English one ought to learn and teach so the researcher has attempted to find out remedial methods to get rid of all the confusion that culture causes and help teachers identify such a learning/teaching fallacy.
