A Study of the Relationship between English Culture Teaching and Cultural Confidence in the New Period

摘要

Culture is the soul of the nation and the guidance of thought. Since the opening up to the outside world, China's international exchange have been continuously enhanced, and different cultural teachings have been introduced into classroom teaching in China. From many people's perspective that foreign culture teaching will have a certain impact on their own culture, as a result, there are some certain doubts and even resistances to the foreign culture teaching. In this paper, the author briefly expounded the problems existed in the teaching of English culture in the new era, and analyzed the relationship between English culture teaching and cultural self-confidence in the new era and then put forward the effective factors of English culture teaching. There is an inseparable connection between language and culture. Language without culture is empty. Without language, there is no culture. Language is the premise and condition of cultural formation and accumulation, and the development of culture further enriches the connotation of language. In the long history of mankind, human beings use language to create culture, and culture in turn affects humanity. Language and culture together promote the development of human society. Different languages are the expressions of different cultures. Language is often regarded as the carrier of culture. The essence of culture can be described through language. Since the reform and opening up, China's opening up to the outside world has obviously accelerated, and various foreign civilizations and cultures have flooded into the tide. As the main front of the cultivation of higher talents in China, colleges and universities are unquestionably welcoming all kinds of new trends and the forefront of new culture. As a basic course generally opened in colleges and universities, English will inevitably introduce the introduction of English culture in the teaching process. For a long time, there has always been a questioning voice in the learning of English culture in society. These skeptics are afraid that the study of English culture will have an unpredictable impact on their own culture. Some even promote the study of foreign culture to the level of national security.
