The new English Course Standards (20xx) for middle schools has added culture teaching as one of its main parts。所以,本論文的目的意在指出從起步學(xué)習(xí)英語的同時就應(yīng)該將語言教學(xué)與文化教學(xué)統(tǒng)一起來。第三部分結(jié)合其他學(xué)者對于這一問題的探究,從中總結(jié)出兩點問題:老師和學(xué)生缺乏進行文化教學(xué)的意識;文化教育過程中存在嚴重的單一性。尤其是中學(xué)的英語教師,由于自身缺少對文化知識的了解,有的甚至認為沒有必要進行文化教育,因此有意無意忽視文化教育。 Culture education。 Making good use of multimedia。 Comparing culture differences。 畢 業(yè) 論 文 論文題目 Research on The Culture Education of English Teaching in Middle Schools Research on The Culture Education of English Teaching in Middle Schools xxxxx A thesis submitted to School of Foreign Languages of xxxx University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Under the supervision of xxxx xxxxx University June, 20xx Contents Abstract………………………… ……………………………... ...............i 摘 要 ……………………………………………… ..… ……… ……… ...ii I.

But what and how to teach it in middle schools still needs systematic study. Nowadays we notice the importance of cultural factors in English teaching. Teaching language also involves teaching culture. We cannot learn a language without learning the culture in which the language deeply rooted. Language is just like the running water. It changes in every moment, for culture changes from time to time. If language is a flower, culture will be the soil for this flower.

Culture doesn’t e out in one day. When people live in a certain area in groups, their way of working, entertainment, munication or other regular activities appeared. As time went by, these things gradually fixed and shared by the members. Therefore, everything that a person experienced is part of his or her culture. It is also generally accepted nowadays that “culture” can be interpreted in its broad sense and narrow sense. That is, the traditional notion of culture in language education has been expanded from “culture with a big C” to “culture with a small c”. Most scholars support that “culture with a big C” focus on all the achievements and contributions to civilization: art, music, literature, architecture, technology, scientific discovery and philosophy. And “culture with a small c” includes “the be
