小学英语教学的文化意识培养
小学英语教学的文化意识培养 兴化市周庄中心小学谢静 【摘要】语言和文化是密不可分的。语言是文化的载体，语言所传递的文化信息是英语教学内容中不可忽视的重要组成部分。因此本文指出了培养文化意识的重要性，并提出培养学生文化意识的策略。【关键词】文化意识英语教学 一、文化的概念 “文化”一词包含着极丰富的内涵。文化的经典定义由英国人类学家泰勒(EdwardTylor)1871年在《原始文化》(Primitive Culture)一书中提出：文化是一个“复合的整体(complex whole)，其中包括知识、信仰、艺术、法律、道德、风俗以及作为社会成员而得的任何其他的能力和习惯。”功能学派大师马林诺夫斯基(Bronilsaw Malinowski)则认为：“文化显然是完整的全体(integral whole)，其中包括器具与消费货物，各种社群的宪章，人们的思想与工艺，信仰与习惯等。”这两位学者分别代表了狭义文化观和广义文化观。文化包括许多层次和方面，如信仰、习惯、艺术、法律、道德、人情风俗、历史事件等等，真可谓无处不在，无所不包，因而具有广泛性、历史性和多维性。《英语课程标准》指出：“文化是指所学语言国家的历史地理，风土人情，传统习俗，生活方式，文学艺术，行为规范，价值观念等，接触和了解英语国家的文化，有益于对英语的理解与认识，有益于培养世界意识。”从语言的特征和文化的范畴与内容来看，语言与文化的关系是十分密切的。语言既是文化的一个重要的组成，又
是文化的载体。学习一种语言，就必须了解这种语言所代表的文化，不然将无法正确理解和运用这种语言。这些年的英语教学实践，使我深切地体会到，在向学生教授英语时，将英语与它所承载的文化紧密地结合起来的重要性。只有培养学生的文化意识，让他们明白中英文化的异同，才能确实提高学生的英语水平，达到学以致用的目的，从而使小学英语教学再上一个新台阶。 二、培养文化意识的必要性和可行性 长期以来，在英语教学中语言和文化的这种关系一直未得到足够的重视。很多教育者似乎认为只要进行听，说，读，写的训练，掌握了语音，词汇和语法规则就能理解英语和用英语进行交流。而实际上由于不了解语言中所蕴含的文化背景，在英语学习和用英语进行交流中屡屡出现错用或误用的现象。美国的语言学家沃尔夫森（）说:“在与外族人交谈时，本族人对于他们在语言和语法方面的错误往往比较宽容;与此相比，违反说话规则时则被认为是不够礼貌的，因为本族人不可能认识到社会语言学的相对性。以"dog "一词为例，在语言意义上，中国的"狗" 与英美国家的 "狗"没有区别，但两个文化群体里的"狗"的文化意义又相差甚远。"狗"一词在中国人看来总是贬义的，汉语中常用"走狗"、"丧家犬"、 "狗仗人势"等来形容所厌恶的人。但是英语国家的人对狗的看法与我们截然不同，他们认为“狗”是人类最好的朋友，忠诚可靠。所以“dog "在英语中往往含有褒义，如love me, love my dog.（爱屋及乌）；a lucky dog（幸运儿）。又如；中国人喜欢以对方为中心考虑对方的情感,如:你感觉怎么样?

英美文化部分名词解释
The Cold War （冷战） By the end of WWⅡ, the United States, which had not suffered as much as other allied countries, because the strongest country in the world. As the possessor of atomic tombs and much of the world’s gold reserve and industrial production in its hand, the policy-makers of the US wanted a world order dominated by the US, a world market free and open to American goods and services. In pursuing this goal, the US encountered determined resistance from the Soviet Union. Gradually the two wartime allies fell apart and the Cold War began. Mrs. Thatcher （撤切尔主义） Thatcherism referred to the policies put forward by Margaret Thatcher, the first woman prime minister in England in 1979. The main contents of her policies included the return to private ownership of state-owned industries, the use of monetarist policies to control inflation, the weakening of trade unions the strengthening of the role of market forces in the economy, and an emphasis on law and order. To some extent her program was successful and she led one of the most remarkable periods in the British economy. Service industries （服务业） They are industries that sell a service rather than make a product，which now dominate the economy. Service industries range from banking to telecommunications to the provision of meals in restaurants. As more and more people are employed in service industries in the US, it is sometimes said the US has moved into a “post-industrial era”. Regionalism (地方主义) As pioneers settled new territories in the West, writers now focused on the differences between the various regions of the United States rather than on a single vision of the expanding country. Stock （股票） When starting or expanding business, corporations need to borrow money. They may issue stocks for people to buy. When people buy stock, they become part owner of the company. If the company makes a profit, they receive a share of it. Likewise, if the company loses money, the stockholders will not make a profit or the value of their shares will drop—they lose money. Therefore buying stock is a risk. Three Faiths in the US （三大信仰） By the 1950s, the three faiths model of American religion had developed. Americans were considered to come in three basic varieties: Protestant, Catholic and Jewish. In terms of numbers, the Protestants are the strongest, the Catholics are next to the Protestants and Jewish are the smallest among

英美文化在英语教学中的应用
英美文化在英语教学中的应用 摘要：随着全球化趋势的加剧，越来越要求我们克服文化差异，顺利实现跨文化交际，新的《英语课程标准》和近几年的高考试题也明显体现了这方面的要求。如何在日常的高中英语教学中渗透文化教学已成为每位高中英语教师必须解决的课题。本文结合高中英语教学实际，对此进行了有益的探讨，具有较强的可操作性。 关键词：文化交流；英语教学；文化意识 中图分类号：G632.0 文献标识码：A 文章编号：1992-7711（2016）03-0035 在英语教学中渗透文化教育是基础教育阶段英语课程的重要任务之一。基础教育阶段，英语课程使用的教材是学生学习和教师教学的重要内容与手段。这套教材将中国文化与英美文化交织在一起，因此，在教学中要充分发掘教材，渗透文化教育，使语言技能的教学和文化意识的培养同步进行，使学生在学习英语的过程中了解英语国家的文化，发展跨文化交际的意识和能力。 一、高中英语教学中渗透文化教学的必要性 众所周知，21世纪是全球化的时代，精神和物质产品的加速流通，将世界各个民族纳入到一个共同的“地球村”中，国际间政治、经济和文化交往越来越频繁，已经成为各
民族生活中不可或缺的部分。然而，国际交往的顺利实现，除了要求我们具备基本的听、说、读、写这些外语技能外，还要求我们必须要对渗透在外语中的外国文化有较深入的了解。文化差异是跨文化交际的障碍，克服文化差异造成的交际障碍已经成为整个世界共同面临的问题。作为当前英语课程改革实践中的一线教师，要想让今天的受教育者在将来能够顺利完成其交际活动，就必须增强文化思维的观念，将语言教学和文化渗透有机结合起来，否则必然会造成日后交际上的重大失误。 在高中英语教学中导入文化背景知识、培养学生的跨文化交际能力、培养学生文化意识、增强对文化差异的敏感性和鉴赏能力，已成为现代英语教学的重要目的之一。教育部颁布的《英语课程标准》已把“提高对中外文化异同的敏感性和鉴别能力，进而提高跨文化交际能力”列入高中英语课程的内容和目标之中。《英语课程标准》指出，文化主要指英语国家的历史、地理、风土人情、传统习俗、生活方式、文学艺术、行为规范和价值观念等。所以，教师要在课内外着重上述文化内容的渗透。《英语课程标准》也列出了在高中英语学习阶段要达到的七、八级目标，其中七级为必须达到的目标。以下是七级目标描述：1. 理解英语中的常用成语和俗语及其文化内涵；2. 理解英语交际中的常用典故和传说；3. 了解英语国家主要的文学家、艺术家、科学家、
