应该重视语言教学中的文化因素——谈谈语言的文化价值

Paying Attention to the Cultural Factors in Language Teaching——On the Cultural Values of Language

最近一些年来,语言学界开始注重研究语言的文化性质,研究语言和文化的关系。但是,从中学到大学的语言教学,仍然停留在语言描写的阶段,仅仅讲授语言现象和规律,几乎不涉及语言的文化因素,从而导致语言教学枯燥乏味,实用性不强。文章着重阐述语言的文化价值,以期引起语言教学工作者的重视,改进语言教学的内容和方法。

In recent years, the linguists begin to pay attention to the research of the cultural characters of language, and to the research of the relationship between language and culture. But the language teaching from high school to university is still at the stage of the description of language, and the teaching of language phenomena or rules, mearly concerned with the cultural aspect of language. This results in the dullness of language teaching and lacking practicability. This article puts special emphasis on the cultural value of language so as to draw the attention of language teachers and improve the content and method of language teaching.
