I. Introduction
A smooth and successful communication with people from different cultures is urgently required in the situation that all the nations have been brought into a common “Global Village”. However, communication breakdowns, embarrassment, even offensive still happen all the time, not because of the non-native speaker’s errors in syntax, or their inaccurate pronunciation in the target language, but due to the unawareness of the difference in ways of thinking, rules of speaking, and social values, or the failure of understanding of a speaker’s intention. Even the English learners, who have studied English for dozens of years, mastered a large vocabulary and English grammar will make cultural mistakes in communication with foreigners. So it is very necessary and important to further study, break the obstacle of communication, avoid pragmatic failure and make it free. To make it, the traditional grammar-oriented or examination-oriented English teaching in china is out of date. The ultimate goal of foreign language teaching and learning is to communicate effectively in the target language.
