4、sely linked. In foreign language teaching, culture plays an important role. For a long time, due to the one-sided understanding of language, vocabulary and grammar became almost all the content of foreign language teaching. Although the students can make accurate and fluent sentences, they may make

10、culture, to make the students realize that they should undertake to carry forward Chinese fine tradition task.Chapter OneLanguage and CultureI. The relationship between language and culture Language and culture are closely related to each other. Some scholars think that the relationship between lang
11、uage and culture是部分与整体的关系,一个社会的语言只是文化的一方面。 is the relationship between the part and the whole, the language of a society is just one aspect of culture. But most people think that language can reflect culture, and culture can also reflect language.Culture and language are permeating each other. Langu
12、age is the carrier of culture, but at the same time, it is also the product of culture, and it has profound cultural connotation. It is not only the manifestation of culture, but also an important part of culture. And culture, it restricts the form of language. It constantly put its essence into the
13、 language, and finally, it becomes the culture of language and the basic contents of language performance. In cross-cultural communication, how to express a thought and culture are closely related. Only tightly integrate with the culture, language can be more vivid and clear. On the other hand, lang
14、uage as a symbol, it marks the social reality. It is able to reflect the different peoples world view, affect peoples beliefs, values, and mutual relations of cultural orientation. Cultural content is hidden and has a dynamic resistance, rheological properties, complexity, and other characteristics.
15、 This blending of culture and language relationship cannot simply be summarized by subordinate or side by side. It should be said that they are the product of human civilization development. At the same time, they are in their respective development and depend on each other.It is worth noting that b
16、etween the second language learning and second culture learning, there are many similarities. In learning a new language, we should find out some similarities between the languages, so that we can more easily learn it. Similarly, in learning a new culture, similarly, in learning new culture, we must
17、 find the similarities and differences between it and our original culture to enable us to learn a new culture with a profound understanding of the national culture at the same time.II.

It is essential to follow the principle of gradual, according to the level of the students ability to unde
23、rstand and accept the new knowledge, and then we can determine the content of culture teaching, from the shallower to the deeper, from simple to complex, from phenomenon to essence. Whats more, we must pay attention to cultural internal consistency and content it, so that the teaching content is not
24、 too fragmentary.Any kind of language learning not only means the language system itself, but also contains the language of the survival of the cultural background and social customs acquired knowledge. For instance, Chinese people are very modest. When someone says: you look beautiful today. Chines
25、e people would say: I am not beautiful at all. But British would not say it as that. If you say that, British must be very confused. So this is the difference between the nations. Therefore, in foreign language teaching, the cultivation of students cultural awareness is essential. Only let students
