谈跨文化交际法英语教学

On English teaching with cross-cultural awareness

在经济全球化、世界大融合的今天,跨文化交际已成为一种现实需要,跨文化交际能力的地位也凸显出来。而中国学生在同外国人的交往中,却表现出了跨文化交际能力的缺失。这固然与学生由于语言技能较差而犯语言错误有关,但更大程度上是由于学生不了解目的语国家的文化而犯的"文化错误"造成的。因为跨文化交际能力除了外语语言能力和语用能力以外,还包括识别两国文化差异的能力。因此为达到培养和提高学生跨文化交际能力的目的,英语教学必须采取合适的教学方法、使用适宜的教材,尤其是教师的认识要与以提高文化交际能力为目的英语教学相适应。

Under the circumstance of economic globalization and world integration,there is an urgent need for cross-cultural communication,which highlights the important role of cross-cultural communicative abilities. While in communicating with the foreigners,Chinese students lack these abilities,which result more from culture mistakes than from language mistakes,because cross-cultural communicative abilities include linguistic and pragmatic abilities as well as the ability of distinguishing cultural differences between two nations.So in order to achieve the goal of training and developing students' cross-cultural communicative ability,proper teaching methods and textbooks must be adopted in English teaching.Teachers must have a rational understanding of the teaching purpose,which aims to improve students' cross-cultural communicative abilities.
