Foreign language teaching covers not only the language teaching but also the cultural teaching to a large degree, which has become a common knowledge. Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Also it is considered as the key stone of culture and a mirror which reflects culture. On the other hand, culture restricts language as well. The paper contrasts and analyzes the differences between the eastern culture and the western culture to explain the function and significance of cultural contrast to language teaching.
