英语是一门语言,长期以来,英语教师在课堂上一直把教会学生一些语言知识作为主要目的。他们认为,中学是打基础阶段,能做到语音语法基本正确,学会一部分词汇应付考试就可以了。这种教学思想使得课内很多时候出现气氛沉闷,学生厌学的现象;而课外.老师布置的背单词、背课文便成为了死任务。学生的学习成绩亦容易“两边倒”:勤奋的学生多数能拿到好成绩,可是知识面较窄,只局限于书本上有的;而懒惰的学生更糟糕,不仅知识浅陋,考试成绩也只有二三十分。这一结果.充分体现了应试教育的二一大弊端。因此,创新教学方法、加强素质教育的呼声越来越紧。改革的出路在于扩大学生的知识面。提高学生的学习主动性。我认为,在课堂教学中渗透文化因素,把教授语言和传播文化相互结合,既符合交际教学的思想,亦有利于丰富学生知识和美化情感,从而培养良好的思想意 English is a language. For a long time, English teachers have been teaching the students some linguistic knowledge for the primary purpose in the classroom. They think that secondary school is to play the basic stage, can be basically correct phonetic grammar, learn some vocabulary to cope with the exam on it. This teaching philosophy often leads to dull atmosphere of the class, the phenomenon of students tired of learning; and extracurricular. Teachers back word, back text has become a dead task. Students’ academic performance is also easy “both sides ”: most hard-working students can get good grades, but the knowledge is narrow, only limited to the books; and lazy students worse, not only poor knowledge, test scores Only twenty or thirty minutes. This result fully reflects the 21 major drawbacks of exam-oriented education. Therefore, it is more and more urgent to innovate teaching methods and enhance quality education. The way to reform lies in expanding students’ knowledge. Improve students’ learning initiative. In my opinion, the infiltration of cultural elements in classroom teaching and the combination of teaching language and communication culture are not only in line with the communicative teaching thinking, but also help to enrich students’ knowledge and beautify emotions so as to cultivate good ideas
