InterculturalCommunicationandForeignLanguageLearning

摘要：

本文论述了英语教学中的跨文化交际，阐述了文化教育在英语教学中所起的不容忽视的作用，对其重要性，内涵，培养方法等做了简要介绍，强调语言是交际的工具。

不了解交际对象的文化背景，势必会产生歧异，也就不可能有效地培养学生的语感。

因此强调中学生英语教学中的跨文化意识，提高其对中西方文化差异的敏感性和适应性，并重视文化知识的传播，就显得颇具伟大的社会意义和现实意义。

从研究文献中，我们不难看到文化的多样性是有它一定的社会因素和历史因素的，而且我们通过对大量的实践举例也论证了跨文化交际能力的高低直接或间接的影响着人们之间的沟通。

综上，我们可以得出：

跨文化交际与外语教学的关系：

外语教学的最终目的是为了实现跨文化交际。

并对在前进路上的教学问题提出解决的办法，论文主要包括四部分：

第一部分：

基本概念

第二部分：

文化多样性与外语教学研究

第三部分：

通过外语教学培养跨文化交际的重要性

第四部分：

当今跨文化交际与外语教学的状况

2TheComponentsofInterculturalCommunicativeAbility

Theinterculturalcommunicativeabilityisanewconcept,whichisstillbeingdiscussedbynow.Balmandotherscholarsinsistthatthreepartsshouldcomposeit:

attitude,knowledge,andskill.

a.Attitude
