SECTION A
QUESTION 1
1.1 Sensitivity to Cultural Context in Reading (5 Marks)
Being sensitive to the cultural context of a text is crucial for understanding the deeper
meanings behind its themes and characters. Leland et al. (2013) emphasize that texts
often reflect cultural ideas, which may vary greatly between different societies. For
example, specific cultural practices, beliefs, and values influence how characters behave
and how themes are developed within a story. When readers approach a text without
awareness of its cultural context, they risk misinterpreting character motivations or
themes, projecting their own cultural assumptions onto the text. For instance, in a text
that reflects communal living and family obligations, a reader from an individualistic
society might misunderstand a character's actions as overly dependent or constrained by
societal pressures, when in fact, the character's choices align with cultural values of family
loyalty. Understanding cultural nuances helps readers grasp the intended message,
leading to a more accurate interpretation of the text.
