地方性院校大学生中国文化英语表达能力调查——以台州学院为例

A Study on Chinese Non-English Major Students' Ability to Express Chinese Culture in English in Local University——A Case Study of Taizhou University

长期以来大学英语教学没有重视中国文化内容的输入,大学生普遍存在中国文化英语表达能力较差的问题。英语语言水平偏低、教材缺乏中国文化内容以及社会对中国文化英语表达能力的淡漠等原因导致了这一现状。文化的产生离不开语言,语言的发展又随着文化的发展而变化,二者相辅相成。在今后的英语教学中应更加注重中国文化的教学,把中国文化知识纳入英语教学计划以及英语测试体系中,并且培养文化爱国主义情怀,加强师生双方对中国文化英语表达能力的重视。

Based on questionnaires and tests,a study on Chinese non-English major students＇ abili- ty to express Chinese culture in English is conducted. The investigation comprises both quantitative and qualitative study, and is designed to find out how Chinese non-English major students perform in expressing Chinese culture in English and the factors which contribute to the result. Finally, the paper will explore how to integrate Chinese culture into college English teaching.
