The study of cultural models has been justified to be an effective cognitive approach to cultivating cultural awareness in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). This paper investigates the process of promoting cultural awareness in TEFL by the representations of cultural models on lexical level with a corpus-based contrastive case study in English and Chinese, and explores the further implications of this study in TEFL, especially in teaching polysemous words and translation.展开更多
