浅议中学英语教学与对学生文化差异意识的培养

　　中文摘要

　　人们学习语言是为了进行交际,不论是语言交际还是非语言交际都要受到文化的制约。

　　“在传统的英语教学中，诸如词汇、短语、语法等英语知识内容受到了广泛的关注，而英语作为一个民族语言的文化背景却被大大忽略了。结果，学生学了几年英语，对英语和母语之间的文化差异，以及说英语民族的风俗习惯仍一无所知。从而，在与外国朋友的交际中，出现过许多偏差、错误、甚至笑话。”[1]

　　本文旨在唤醒中学同行在英语教学过程中注重文化差异意识的渗透；探讨在中学阶段的英语教学中怎样实施语言教学和培养文化意识相互渗透、融为一体；从中学开始培养学生的文化差异意识，为日后跨文化交际打好基础；同时，也希望此举为抛砖引玉，以吸引更多的同仁关注这个课题，在教学过程中时间开来，从而培养出更多的、既有扎实的语言基础知识，又有娴熟的跨文化交际能力的综合型外语人才。

　　On Cultural Awareness Building in English Teaching at Middle School

　　Abstract

　　The purpose of learning language is to communicate , but there are some cultural barriers in language or non – language communication.

　　“In traditional English teaching ,much attention is paid to knowledge such as vocabulary ,phrases,grammatical rules and so on,while the cultural background of the language is ignored.As a result ,students who have learn English for many years haxe no sense of the differences between the two languages in their cultural backgrounds and the customs of the people who speak the language The ignorance has caused lots of disagreements,misunderstangings and even laughingstocks in their communication with the native speakers.”[1]

　　Therefore, my aim is to call for a good understanding of the importance of cultivating the students’ competence of the cross-cultural communication. In the meantime, we hope that we can reach the goal in the nearest future to enable the students to meet the demands of the new era and the ever-developing society.
