摘要
伴随着经济全球化和信息网络化的进程,英语作为一门国际通用语言,发挥着越来越重要的作用。
我国历来重视英语教学,初中阶段更是学生学习英语、发展能力的重要时期。
初中英语不仅要进行英语语音、词汇和语法等语言知识的教学,而且还要进行英语文化的教学。
当前的初中英语教育中,文化教学的地位已经越来越重要。
初中英语文化教学是进行素质教育尤其是培养学生人文素养的前提。
初中英语文化教学是语言与文化相互关系的内在需要,是英语课程标准的要求,也是培养跨文化交际人才的需要。
但目前我国的英语教育中,学生和老师都只重视语言技能的学习,而忽略文化教学。
本文以初中英语文化教学为研究对象,综合采用各种分析方法,对初中英语文化教学的现状进行分析,找出其中存在的问题,深刻分析其产生的原因,进一步分类整理之后,提出相应的切实可行的解决对策,最终达到提高教学效率,促进英语教学水平的快速发展的目的。
