1、摘 要近年来，随着我国改革开放的开展和我国与国际间的经济、科技、文化交流日益频繁，人们越来越重视外国文化问题。同时，我们也逐渐认识到了了解外国文化在对外交往中的重要性。在教育领域中，外语教学也渐渐重视对学生交际能力的培养。然而，对许多老师而言，文化教学还是一个较新的概念，从跨文化角度对英语教学进行研究探讨在目前还是个新领域。我们必须认识到交际能力的培养是外语教学的主要目标，培养学生跨文化交际的技能是中学外语教学要到达的一个目标。文化教学在中学英语教学中的重要性不可无视，英语学习者不了解英语国家的文化，就无法获得交际能力。因此在中学英语口语教学中应该目标明确地，循序渐进地，方法得当地导入文化教学

Some experts suggest that todays English teaching should emphasize intercultural communication. Learners ought to know not only grammar or words, but should learn cultural knowledge.

Conclusion25Acknowledgements26References27Appendix281 IntroductionLanguage is just like a mirror that reflects its national culture. Sociologists and
9、anthropologists believe that culture comprises all products of human activity, including fields of literature, art, music, architecture, and scientific as well as aspects of customs, life-style, code of conduct, worldly wisdom and social organization, etc. Languages are generally accepted words and
10、rules drawn from speech. Language is the carrier of culture and culture is the content of language119. There is no language without culture content. Therefore learning culture knowledge has become a major part of teaching English to Chinese students. International communication is communication betw

And whether we like it or not, these interactions will continue to grow in both frequently and intensely. Second, people now know that the influence of culture aff

However, as we look back to see the situation in Chinas high schools. We see that, for several decades, language teachers have not been able to pay attenti
14、on to the role of culture knowledge in language oral teaching. Nowadays, in the ELF oral teaching, especially in middle school, teachers pay much attention to vocabulary. As Chinese culture is not the same as that of English-speaking countries, the rules for using Chinese are, in some respects, diff

There is especially good evidence that Chinese students may transfer their mother tongue references of language used to their English performance and fail to communicate effectively124. Misunderstanding caused by cross-cultural communication should break down and much attention should be paid to them in English language teaching. So in middle school ELF oral teaching, teachers must not only improve students language level, but also pay attention to cultivating students abilities of intercultural communication.2.
