1. 文化导入的必要性与可行性 Approaches to the Cultural Integration into Junior English Teaching 初中英语教学的文化交融的途径 海安县教育局教研室 许贵祥 一、 导 言 Jesperson曾说过：“学习它国的文化是语言教学中最重要的目的（Learning about the culture of another country is the highest purpose of language teaching）。” 文化，作为一种社会现象，是一定的人的群体创造和积累的物质财富和精神财富的总和。语言是文化的一部分，是文化的载体；文化是语言的底蕴。语言与文化相互依存，密不可分。 一、导 言 学习语言的过程就是认识文化的过程，不了解文化，在交际过程中会不可避免地遇到文化障碍而使交际失败，正因为这一点，语言学习的过程中文化渗透已成为必然。 二、 What is Culture? The word culture has many different meanings.? For some it refers to an appreciation of good literature, music, art, and food.? For a biologist, it is likely to be a colony of bacteria or other microorganisms growing in a nutrient medium in a laboratory Petri dish.? However, for anthropologists and other behavioral scientists, culture is the full range of learned human behavior patterns.? The term was first used in this way by the pioneer English Anthropologist Edward B. Tylor in his book, Primitive Culture, published in 1871.? Tylor said that culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.? Of course, it is not limited to men.? Women possess and create it as well.? Since Tylors time, the concept of culture has become the central focus of anthropology. Culture is a powerful human tool for survival, but it is a fragile phenomenon.? It is constantly changing and easily lost because it exists only in our minds.? Our written languages, governments, buildings, and other man-made things are merely the products of culture.? They are not culture in themselves.? For this reason, archaeologists can not dig up culture directly in their excavations.? The broken pots and other artifacts of ancient people that they uncover are only material remains that reflect cultural patterns--they are things that were made and used through cultural knowledge and skills. 三、初中英语教学的文化交融 1. 文化交融的必要性与可行性 2. 文化交融的内容
