Culture
"Within this national perspective, not only did language teaching get separated from the teaching of literature, it got separated from the teaching of culture a well. Subjects like French "civilisation", German "Landeskunde", English "culture" have developed separately from language instruction, enclosed in textbooks within culture capsules, cultural notes, glossy photographs and more recently a array of so-called authentic texts."

: No, Landeskunde is much more than just geography (I had it in college)

May very well be so on German Colleges, Lydia; on US Universities this term is generally covered by: "Geography"!
