At the same time it’s very necessary to improve students’ cultural awareness. And the teacher should try to use different techniques and methods to teach culture, for example, using English films to stimulate discussions on English culture, recommending various kinds of English materials, giving lectures on English culture and so on. Some other suggestions for the cultivation of communicative competence in foreign language teaching are also proposed: avoiding negative stereotyping and prejudice, applying pragmatic principles to English teaching and improving teaching methods from many aspects. The author hopes that these suggestions can be of some benefit to the improvement of English teaching and students’ communicative competence. This paper is made up of six chapters. Chapter one is the introduction, which presents the current situation of English teaching and learning in China and the reason why this topic has been chosen. Chapter two is literature review, which reviews the definitions of culture, communication and their relationships and introduces relevant theories of pragmatic failure and communicative competence.
