从文化比较看文化因素在外语教学中的引入

On Incorporating Culture into Foreign Language Teaching:A Cultural and Comparative Perspective

每一种语言的形成和发展都与这个社会的特定环境紧密相连。不同的文化产生不同的语言,不同的语言又反映着不同的文化。在跨文化交际中,交际双方不仅要懂得对方的语言,更要了解彼此的文化知识。我们的外语教学应该在培养学生语言能力的同时,更注重对目的语国家社会文化的引入。

The formation and development of any language is closely related to its specific social environment. Different cultures have different languages and different languages reflect different cultures. In cross-cultural communication, both sides of the communication must not only know each other＇ s language, but to understand each other＇ s culture. Our foreign language teaching should focus on developing language skills of students ; meanwhile, it should pay more attention to the integration of social culture of the target country into language teaching. This paper intends to illustrate the importance of social and cultural knowledge learning in our language teaching through comparison between Chinese and French cultures.
