文化和外语教学密不可分,当今语言教学界普遍认为,文化研究,尤其是文化比较在外语教学中能够起到至关重要的作用。中英文化在价值观念、思维模式、宗教信仰、历史传统与风俗习惯等方面存在差异,在英语教学实践中要注意运用文化比较以促进学生对英语国家语言文化的理解。 Culture and foreign language teaching are inseparable. Today’s language teaching community generally believes that cultural studies, especially cultural comparisons, can play a crucial role in foreign language teaching. Chinese and English cultures have differences in values, modes of thinking, religious beliefs, historical traditions and customs. In English teaching practice, attention should be paid to using cultural comparisons to promote students’ understanding of language and culture in English-speaking countries.
