如何在英语教学中进行中国文化的输入——由“中国文化失语”现象引发的思考

On the Input of Chinese Culture in English Teaching——Reflection on the Phenomenon of "Deficiency of Chinese Culture in Intercommunication"

语言与文化密不可分。在外语教学中既要重视目的语文化背景知识的介绍,也不可忽略对母语文化的传播。由于长期以来英语教学中存在着对母语文化输入的欠缺,导致学习者用英语表达中国文化的能力与其实际的英语水平不一致,从而造成中国文化失语现象,引发跨文化交际障碍。为此,分析中国英语教学的现状,进而对英语教学改革提出几点建议,其中涉及教学大纲的修订,学习者平等交际意识的培养,教材的制定和编排以及课堂教法各个方面。
