2、 月 日. Introduction1.1 Research MotivesWith the development of internationalization, English communication becomes more and more frequent in the world. Culture teaching, as a part of English teaching, plays an important role for students to make a successful communication. Meanwhile, it can broaden s
3、tudents eyes to know more about foreign culture, cultivate cross-culture awareness, and arouse students interest to learn English.Whats more, it can makeEnglish class relaxing and joyful and improve communicative skills as well. In recent years, culture teaching in English classhas been paid more an
4、d more attention both at home and abroad. Majority of researchers study on it, and has madefruitful achievements. However, there still exist some points that deserve to study further. For example, the significance of culture in Englishteaching should be paid enough attention, and the culture teachin
5、g methods applied in English class need to be improved in a further way. Therefore, this thesis attempts to find out the current situations of culture teaching in English class and tries to find out some measures to improve the situations.1.2 Literature ReviewIn order to make my paper entire and hav
6、e a more complete picture about the topic I have examined,thisthesis decides first to adopt some initial resources in the literature review, and then see what has happened within the domain of the English culture teaching. There are many researches about culture in English teaching both at home and
7、abroad. Generally speaking, the western countries studying the Englishculture teaching are earlier than China and superior to China. However,the study of Englishculture teaching in China has developed fast in recent years and lots of Chinese scholars put forward their own unique ideas about Englishc
8、ulture teaching.At abroad, the Englishculture teaching has been valued by western scholars for many years. In the book Language and Culture, which was published in 2002, Gu Jiazu states the definitions of culture that are put forward by some antecedent scholars in western countries. He mentions that
9、 the Germanic scholar, Logero Pagich first proposed the culture science and researched it in 1883. Then American anthropologist, Kroebe put forward the basicconceptand principles of cultural science and made the cultural science appear as an independent system gradually,but culture teaching in Engli
10、sh class had not been paid enough attention.Certainly, Chinese scholars also put forward some own ideas about culture teaching about our native culture. When we think highly of the western culture, we ought not to neglect our native culture. Seelye, in his book CommunicationStrategies for Intercultu
11、ral Communication, which was published in 1983, states that the successful trans-cultural communication is based on the abundant learning and understanding of our native culture. If you ignore your own native culture, it is inevitable to cause unsuccessful effects in the cross-cultural communication
12、. He indicates in his paper thatsome junior students are short of the acquaintances of their own culture, thus leading to the difficulty in expressing them appropriately in English. Although the western culture is one of the essential aspects of the domestic teaching of culture, the native culture i
13、s also a necessary part of communication. He indicates that people should balance the proportion between the western culture and native culture in the teaching of culture in middle school, revise the contents of teaching, and set up the course that teaching Chinese culture in English. Therefore, whe
14、n we value the western culture, the Chinese culture should be paid close attention. In the late nineteenth century, people turned to lay stress on the significance of language teaching in Englishculture teaching.Since then the language has a close relationship with culture.Language is a necessary ca
15、rrier of culture and helps present culture.As to the relationship between language and culture,many linguists have given complete and vivid explanations:in the bookCultural Studies in Foreign LanguageEducation, which was published in 1989,Byramrefers to the relationship between language and cultureas follows:“as learners learn about language they learn about culture and as they learn to use a new language, they learn to use a new culture. They learn to communicate with other individualsfrom a new culturethe meanings of a particular language point to the culture of a particul
