随着科技的飞速进步和社会的迅猛发展,世界正向全球化和一体化发展,各国人民日益频繁交往,相互联系更加紧密。不同文化背景的人们在相互交际中回避不了文化差异问题。英语是世界上使用最广的语言,中国人要学会用英语进行交际,就必须了解英语国家的文化,特别是交际文化。因此,英语教学不仅要提高学生的语言能力,还要提高学生的跨文化交际能力。本文以中学英语教学为对象,结合笔者以往实践系统分析英语教学中文化意识的培养。 With the rapid progress of science and technology and the rapid development of society, the world is moving toward globalization and integrated development. People in all countries are increasingly engaged and interdependent. People of different cultural backgrounds can not avoid cultural differences in their interactions with each other. English is the most widely used language in the world. To learn how to communicate in English, Chinese people must understand the culture of English-speaking countries, especially the communicative culture. Therefore, English teaching should not only improve students ’language ability, but also improve students’ intercultural communication skills. This article regards middle school English teaching as object, combined with the author’s practice in the past to systematically analyze the cultivation of cultural awareness in English teaching.
