语言点与文化点是英语教学的两项主要内容。语言点教学培养学生的语言知识和语言能力 ,而文化点教学则培养学生的文化知识和交际能力。语言点不等同于文化点 ,尽管语言点中的词汇层次和语篇层次的一部分内容与文化点的词汇和社会文化层次的内容相重合 ,但在教学中二者不可相互替代。由此 ,教师应采取中外文化知识对比、图片展示等教学方法 ,才能收到理想的教学效果 Language points and cultural points are the two main contents of English teaching. Language point teaching cultivates students ’language knowledge and language ability while cultural point teaching cultivates students’ cultural knowledge and communicative competence. Although the language point is not equal to the cultural point, although the vocabulary level and part of the discourse level of the language point coincide with the vocabulary of the cultural point and the content of the social and cultural level, the two can not be replaced in the teaching. As a result, teachers should take the comparison of Chinese and foreign cultural knowledge, pictures and other teaching methods, in order to receive the ideal teaching results
