高中英语课堂教学中的文化教学实践

论文摘要

众所周知,影响外语教学的因素很多。近年来随着政治、经济改革的深化,我国与世界各国的交往日益频繁,不同文化背景的人不得不彼此交流,从中也产生了理解上的许多问题。这使得人们认识到,纯语言形式的外语教学已经无法适应社会发展的需求。八十年代初,在经历了太多的“文化冲突”之后,人们开始认真地探讨语言与文化的关系以及文化对外语教学的影响。最新修订的《英语课程标准解读》(2001)对于文化教学的定义、文化教学的目的以及语言与文化之间的关系等做了较为明晰的论述,第一次明确规定了英语教育应包括“文化知识、文化理解、跨文化意识和能力”的目标。基于上述原因,本文从文化教学的定义、它的重要性、语言和文化之间的关系、教学大纲对学生文化意识的要求入手,通过对学生文化知识的问卷调查,从教材中分析文化教学要融入语言教学、以及怎样培养学生的文化意识等方面进行论证。文中用大量的实例表明,在中学英语课堂教学中,如何充分挖掘教材中的文化信息来促进文化教学进行探讨,并提出一些具体的文化教学方法。
