英语课堂上的中国文化渗透
Abstract Language and Culture are closely linked with each other. Culture should be penetrated into Language Teaching in modern Language Teaching Class. In today’s English class, students only learn the western knowledge and accept the western ideology compiled in textbooks. On the other hand, teachers of EFL usually focus on the western culture, ignoring the Chinese culture. This phenomenon misleads the English language learners to pay more attention to English rather than take the Chinese culture into consideration. In order to strengthen the consciousness of Chinese culture and promote the combination of English teaching with Chinese culture, this paper will make a review on the cultural teaching between west and China, make a detail of applying the Chinese culture into English teaching and offer some systematic methods of leading Chinese culture into TEFL in class or after class, due to the necessity of combining language teaching with culture in English Teaching Class.

I. Introduction Nowadays English has become the world language because it is most widely used in the world. Since around the 1980s, with the implementation of the policy of opening to the outside world, English has become the most popular foreign language in China, and all high schools, colleges and universities have offered English as a compulsory course to all students. However, it is not uncommon that students are not able to communicate with foreigners effectively even though they have learned English for more than ten years. The reason is that the present classroom teaching is still conducted in the traditional way, emphasizing the teaching of the linguistic skills namely, listening, speaking, reading and writing. Actually, reading is the key to the English teaching because of the traditional examination-oriented English teaching. Therefore, the pedagogical focus is on the grammatical features of English without regard to its communicative and cultural functions. But, successful learning of a language does not merely mean the mastering of grammar and vocabulary, and cultural learning is also indispensable. Brown points out: “A language is a part of a culture and a culture is a part of language: the two are intricately interwoven such that one cannot separate the two without losing the significance of either language or culture”. (Brown 80) It is evident that the role of cultural learning in the foreign language classroom has been the concern of many teachers and scholars. What is more, the necessity of the culture teaching in EFL teaching has been considerably recognized. Unfortunately as some studies have shown, this does not necessarily lead to the practice of combining the two in language classroom teaching.
