English learning cannot be simply defined as the study of English grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. To be good at English is not only to communicate effectively in a right way, but also to know the connotation about the language. The action of encouraging students to practice certain kind of sentence patterns to master the language will inevitably lead to the disharmony between linguistic study and cultural edification, however, the cultural function of language is undeniable and indiscerptible. It is necessary to lead cultural edification into linguistic study in the right way of English teaching.
