TheintroductionofCultureinJuniorhighSchoolEnglishTeachingAThesisPresentedtotheCollegeofEnglishCentralSouthUniversityByYangLiuInImpartialFulfillmentoftheRequirementsFortheDegreeofBachelorofArtswithHonorsOctober2009ThesisSupervisor:YangYujie摘要随着初中英语基础教育的不断改进和更新，在英语新课程标准的要求下任务型教学模式出现,新的教学目标尤其重视了学习英语的实际操作和运用能力。其实，英语的学习就是对另一种语言的学习，只有在社会历史文化的深层结构中锁定其坐标，才能构建起坚实的语言大厦。但被关注的对象往往还是以大学生为主，对中小学生在此方面培养的研究还十分少见在英语教学中，文化导入我们需要从文化差异、文化背景、语言特性以及风俗习惯四个方面着手。把文化导入和语言知识的习得有机结合起来，才而来提高学生应用语言知识进行交际能力的能力，本文就从初中英语教学的现状入手，阐述一下为什么要培养初中学生的文化意识、如何培养以及培养时有哪些注意点。关键词：英语教学；文化导入；误区；方法；文化教学AbstractWiththeprimarybasiceducationofEnglishlanguageimprovingandrenewing,itisgettingmoreandmorecleartopaymmoreemphasisonlearnthepracticalmanipulationandappliedabilityofEnglishlanguageinjuniorhighschool’sEnglishcourse。However,Learningofaforeignlanguageisjustlearninganotheroneculture.OnlyinthedeeperconstructionofcultureandsocialhistorycanwebuildupasolidEnglishlanguagemansion.Butpeopleobjectofconcernusuallystillregarduniversitystudentasprinciple.Theresearchaboutprimaryandhighschoolstudentsareveryseldomseen,AsfarasEnglishteachingisconcerned，weshouldchooseculturaldifference，culturebackground，languagecharacteristicsandsocialcustomsasstartingpointsfortheculturalducts.Combiningtheculturalintroductionandlanguageacquisition,thusimprovingthestudents’abilitytoapplytargetlanguageincommunication.Theconcreteexampleisdemonstratedtoproveitsfeasibilityanditssuperiority.inpractiseThistextwillstartfromthepresentconditionofEnglishteaching.Elaboratethatwhytodeveloptheculturalconsciousnessofpupil,howandhavewhichattentionsorder.Keywords:Englishteaching;culturalintroduction；mistake;approaches;culturalteaching;Content摘要··········································································································iAbstract·······················································································iiI.Introduction·······················································································1II．LanguageandCulture······································································12.1TheRelationshipBetweenLanguageandCulture··································22.2Cultureversuslanguageteaching·····················································2III.OverviewandintrospectoftheJuniorhighschoolEnglishteaching·······23.1Listeningabouttheteachingobjectivesarenotclear····························33.2Outdatedandsingleteachingmethods···············································33.3Teachingjustasamereformality······················································43.4Neglectofbasicknowledge,basicabilityandlearninghabit.····················43.5Teacherstaketoomuchofstudent’stimeintheclassroom·····················53.6ThejuniorhighschoolEnglishteachershouldhaveculturalconsciousness····53.7ThejuniorhighschoolEnglishteachershouldhaveemotionconsciousness···5IV.HowtoteachingcultureintheJuniorhighEnglishclassroom·················64.1Activelypromoteanopenenvironmentforteachingjuniorhighschool········64.1.1Therearesomeofmoderntechnicalforustoapplyonteaching···············64.1.2Moreactivityshouldbeintroducetousclassroom································64.2Educationisnotamandatorybutaguide········································74.2.1TheapplicationsofcultureinEnglishteaching···································74.2.2TheapplicationofcultureinEnglishcommunication····························74.2.3TheapplicationofcultureinEnglishlistening····································84.2.4TheapplicationofcultureinEnglishreadingcomprehension··················94.2.5Practicalapproachesofculturalteaching········································10V.Conclusion···························································································11Bibliography···························································································12Acknowledgements··················································································131IIntroductionAsweallknow,Languageandculturearecloselyrelated.InEnglishlanguageeducation,thedefinitionofcultureteachingshouldincludeallthehumanachievementsofcivilizationandthewaysoflifeandthedifferenthabitsofpeople.Culturedifferencesarereflectedinlanguagesandcommunicativeactivities.Furthermoreitmakesgreatdifferenceincommunicationwhetherlearnerscanunderstandorknowtheculturaldifferences,culturalrules,andeventheculturaltaboos.However,intraditionalapproachestolanguageteaching,theaimsofalanguageteachingcourseareveryoftendefinedwithreferencetothefourlanguageskills:understandingspeech,speaking,readingandwriting.Cultureteachingisnottakensoimportantateachingtargetastheabovementionedlanguageskills.Becauseofthelackofculturalknowledge,studentsoftenmakeculturalmistakeswhentheycommunicatewithnativespeakers..FromyearsofmyexperienceinJuniorEnglishteaching,IgraduallyrealizetheimportanceofcultureteachingtoChinesestudents.Englishteachingshouldbeaimedatdevelopingstudents’communicativecompetencesothattheywouldbeabletoreactfreelyandproperwithnativespeakersofEnglishinvarioussoc
