A Discussion of Involving More Cultural Factors in JEFC Teaching

论文摘要

无论国内国外，文化教学的重要性已经被广泛认可。研究也表明，文化因素常常构成人们学习外语的障碍。 虽然在JEFC教材中包含了丰富的文化内容，但在具体教学中，还在一定程度上存在对文化因素融入的漠视。笔者认为在初中英语教学中应注重文化因素的导入，关注对学生文化能力的培养，而不仅仅是培养学生的语言技能。 本篇论文的目的是为了证实在初中教学中融入更多的文化因素是必要的、可能的且可行的，可以有效提高学生的学习兴趣，并促进学生的交际能力。 为了证实假设，笔者采用了调查和比较实验的方法对论点予以了证实。在理论论述、实践分析和方法归纳的基础上，从而推断在初中英语教学中融入更多文化因素是可能和可行的，并且这一教法能够激发学生的兴趣，唤起他们的激情，提高他们的交际能力。 论文研究存在的局限表明，这一领域还存在很大的发展空间。
