论医学类高校英语教学中跨文化意识的培养

On the Cultivation of Medical University Students' Intercultural Awareness in English Teaching

文化教学不仅能提高高校学生学习英语的兴趣,而且是学生真正掌握语言、运用语言进行交流的手段。医学类高校英语教师应着力培养学生跨文化意识,使学生了解中西医文化之间的差异,消除文化偏见,吸取西医文化之精髓,促进中西医文化的交流。

Cultural teaching not only can improve the interest of collage students＇ learning English, but also can make them master the language and communicate with it properly. Medical collage English teachers should make efforts to cultivate the students＇ intercultural awareness, make them know the difference between the Chinese medical culture and the western one, clear up the cultural bias, take in the essence of western medical culture and promote the communication between the Chinese medical culture and the western culture.
