论中职英语教学中的文化导入

论文摘要

语言和文化不可分割,它们之间的关系决定了语言教学和文化教学是密不可分的。虽然文化教学的重要性早已得到教育界的认可,但是由于种种原因,文化教学仍然是“雷声大,雨点小”,人们不能有效地将文化教学与语言教学有机地结合起来,这一情况在我国中职学校的英语教学中尤其严重。部分是由于文化教育滞后,造成了近年来中职校学生的英语素质逐年下降。为了找出在这些学校中阻碍文化教学的具体原因,作者对师生进行了问卷调查。通过调查,发现英语文化教学中存在的问题,深化了对英语教师文化观和文化教学实施现状的了解。在此基础上,作者进一步分析了目前中职文化教学中存在的问题,总结出阻碍文化教学进步的六大因素。针对这些因素以及中职教学环境的具体特点,本文进一步在文化理论和教育理论的指引下,全面探讨目前中专英语文化导入问题,深入讨论了英语文化导入的必要性,文化导入内容、方法和文化导入必须遵循的原则,并通过教学实验,论证所提出的文化导入法在目前中职英语教学中的可行性和有效性,指出它能通过提高学生的学习兴趣,有效提高学生语言能力和跨文化交际能力,从而达到有效的交际。
