高职英语教学文化正迁移与语用能力的培养

Cultivation of Positive Cultural Transfer and Pragmatic Competence in Higher Vocational English Teaching

第二语言学习涉及第二文化学习,因此第二语言学习也是一个文化移入的过程。高职英语教育的目标是使学生具备一定的英语交际能力,而目前高职学生在英语交际能力方面存在英语基础薄弱,西方文化知识匮乏等问题。试图通过探讨文化迁移这一造成语用失误的主要因素,从外语教学的角度归纳了三点培养学习者语用能力的启示:利用文化导向型英语教学模式,促进文化正迁移;设计跨文化交际教学内容,实现母语文化正迁移;培养教师本身的语用能力。

Since the second language learning touches on the second cultural leaning,therefore,the second language learning is a process of acculturation.Higher vocational English education aims at equipping students with good English communication skills,while students are weak in English communicative competence currently,lacking the knowledge of western culture and other issues.This paper attempts to discuss cultural transfer—the major factor causing pragmatic failure,and the author summaries three teaching implications for enhancing learners’pragmatic competence： utilizing culture-oriented teaching approach to promote positive cultural transfer;designing cross-cultural teaching contents in order to achieve the native positive cultural transfer;cultivating the teachers’own pragmatic competence.
