高校英语语言文化教学的问题及其解决途径

The Problems and Solutions of English Language and Culture Teaching in University

语言与文化之间存在紧密联系,人们可以通过语言认识文化,运用语言表达文化,在语言教学中文化教学显得尤为重要。而当今英语专业教学在文化教学大纲、教学内容、教学主体等方面都存在理论与实际脱节问题。针对这些问题提出了文化教学应遵循的四条原则:认知原则、吸收原则、对比原则和宽容原则,同时从教学大纲的制定、教师素质的提高和学生跨文化心态的调整三方面提出了具体的解决途径。

There is a close connection between language and culture, so people always study and express culture through language. Consequently, culture teaching becomes an indispensible component of language teaching. But the fact is that in the process of English language teaching there exists a problem of disconnection between theory and practice in the aspects of the outline of culture teaching,the content of culture teaching and the subject of culture teaching. Four principles of culture teaching are proposed including cognition principle, assimilation principle, com- paration principle and tolerance principle. Based on the principles,the specific strategies are also raised from three aspects of making the outline of culture teaching, improving quality of teacher and adjusting cross-cultural attitudes.
