在全球化的背景下,国际交流不断加深,英语作为一门国际通用语言发挥着至关重要的作用。但在中西交流过程中,英语国家与中国,因历史、文化、社会习惯不同,往往存在许多误解和歧义。要达到真正意义上的交流与沟通,双方都要积极了解彼此所处的文化。在英语教学中,文化教学显得尤其重要。 In the context of globalization, international exchanges have deepened and English plays a crucial role as an international lingua franca. However, during the exchange between China and the West, English-speaking countries and China often have many misunderstandings and ambiguities because of their different historical, cultural and social habits. To achieve the real exchange and communication, both sides should actively understand each other’s culture. In English teaching, culture teaching is particularly important.
