Abstract

College English Curriculum Requirements, launched by Ministry of Education in indicated that the instruction of college English is part of higher education. College English, guided by foreign language teaching theory, mainly involves English knowledge and practical skills, cross-cultural communication and learning strategy. Its instructional goal is training students’ comprehensive and practical ability, especially their listening and speaking skills. Thus, they can communicate with others in English in their study, work and social intercourse, increase their capacity of independent study and overall cultural awareness, so as to fit well with the demands of national development and international exchange. College English is not only a basic course to learn language, but also to expand knowledge and know global cultures. It is a tool with cultural connotation. Thus, we must take full consideration of training students’ cultural awareness and teaching worldwide cultural knowledge while designing the college English courses. That means College English Curriculum Requirements attach importance to culture. It is an irresistible trend that language and culture is of equal significance. Therefore, Teachers must enhance their cultural cultivation, store cross-culture knowledge and draw lessons from advanced teaching theory. Through various teaching and extracurricular activities, they should enhance students’ awareness of cross-culture and communication competence, as well as the cognition and understanding of different countries and cultures. The most important is to integrate traditional Chinese culture into College English teaching, transmitting excellent and elegant traditional Chinese culture. In this way, we can cultivate graduates with both solid professional foundation and ability of international exchange.
