英语教育中的文化教育——策略与原则

Cultural education in foreign language teaching ——strategy and principle

外语教育中文化教育的重要性毋庸置疑,但不应当简单理解为目的语文化的导入,更不能局限于对社会风俗习惯的介绍。外语教育中的文化教育应包括认知文化教育、情感文化教育和行为文化教育,同时应兼顾目的语文化和本族语文化兼容。此种文化教育可以通过输入文化信息、输入词汇的文化内容等多种途径和手段来实现。

The significance of cultural education for foreign language teaching is beyond doubt. Nevertheless, it cannot be simply taken as import of the culture from the target language. Not less than this, it even cannot be limited to introduction of the social customs or habits. The cultural education in FLT should include in a real sense the education of cultural cognition, of emotional culture, and of behavior culture. At the same time, reciprocal involvement of the target language's culture with that of the native language is also very necessary. Such a cultural education can be achieved by means of importing cultural information, cultural meaning of vocabulary and so on.
