Study on the Cultivation Strategy of Anglo-American Culture in College English Teaching

摘要

The training strategies and methods of English teaching in the university and junior-high school stages are dissimilar. In college education, students usually ignore the study of Anglo-American culture. Lacking knowledge of this part easily leads to the barriers of cultural feelings and misunderstanding of cultural concepts for students in English communication. Therefore, with the deepening of English learning and the strengthening of international cooperation, college English teachers should focus on strengthening students' learning and understanding of Anglo-American culture. On the other hand, teachers should also be aware of the importance of Anglo-American cultural communication. English teaching cannot be separated from the explanation and introduction of the cultural origins. Since ancient times, language and culture are two inseparable carriers. The production, formation, development and final extinction of a country's or nation's language are associated with the culture of this country or nation. Learning a new language requires a deep understanding of the culture of this country or nation as the feelings of this country's culture can help us understand the deep and extended meanings of the language better and more thoroughly. The baptism of language learners through culture allows them to perceive the feelings behind the text. While reading foreign language books or seeing foreign language films, you can vicariously feel what the author wants to convey. Therefore, in college English teaching, it is necessary to introduce Anglo-American culture. At the same time, teachers should ask students to compare and find the differences between Chinese and Anglo-American culture, and explore the reasons for the formation of differences, tracing the source, thus to find the sources of three cultures. In the past college English teaching, because of lack of advanced teaching equipment and excellent teacher resources, colleges and universities usually use the similar teaching methods with the junior high school, which mainly focus on the training of listening, reading, writing and other English skills. Through each branch of the class, teachers can find the strengths of students, and then classify the students to different types for training. In the past, due to the insufficient national economic strength, the government subsidy to colleges and universities is not enough. Therefore, in the process of English education, students rarely have the opportunity to go abroad and truly feel the practical charm and practical skills of the language in the English-speaking countries, but only reinforce their English skills through the traditional teaching methods. With the acceleration of the process of opening to the outside world, foreign-funded enterprises come to China to invest and build factories in China. Limited to the traditional cultivating mode, while communicating with English native speakers, Chinese people may encounter the conditions such as communication barriers. In the process of writing terms and projects, due to cultural differences, the project progress might be delayed, which will seriously lead to the failure of the entire cooperation. Therefore, colleges and universities should be based on the current situation to reform the college English teaching and training system and pay attention to the study of Anglo-American culture. With the reform of the national education system, heads of the universities and the Ministry of Education have paid more and more attention to the importance of Anglo-American culture in college English education. Therefore, the Ministry of Education has stipulated that in the college English teaching curriculum, the course of Anglo-American culture is included into the syllabus system, thus training students to learn and apply with full vigor, so as to truly learn a language and its cultural connotation and communicate with foreigners without any barriers.
