Context, functioning as the combination of linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge, is crucial in semantic understanding of a text. Thus today's English class-room teaching should indispensably involve the teaching of non-linguistic knowledge, namely, the cultural knowledge of the target language. In this essay, by introducing the notion of context and its positive effects on a text comprehension, the author aims at emphasizing the importance of introducing text-related context, especially non-linguistic context and arousing the cultural awareness from the teachers in their non-majored college English classroom teaching.
