This article reports on a case study carried out in Mexico with two bilingual teachers, a native speaker of English and a native speaker of Spanish. The discussion explores teachers' beliefs about the dimension
of culture in their teaching and the relationship of these beliefs to teacher instruction. Distinctive styles of interaction with students surface and raise concern about the question of cultural knowledge.
