To View The College English Culture Teaching From The Angle Of Multiculturalism

English teaching in the 21^st century is facing a great challenge under the condition of the multiculturalism. Inter-culture communicative competence and sensitive awareness to different cultures have become fundamental skills to a modern person under such context. It is well known that culture and language are undividable and interwoven for language is not only a part of culture but also the carrier of culture transmission. From the analysis of the present condition about culture teaching in China we realize that home culture hasn't been included in present culture teaching under the influence of monism, instead, there is merely the introduction of western cultures. It is necessary to cultivate students' multicultural view and establish an idea that all cultures are created equal due to cultural diversity and pluralism of intercultural communication. Therefore, culture teaching should include the education about indigenous culture, target culture and diversified cultures. Multiculturalism is a strong theoretical trend which is based on culture equality and culture diversity and is helpful in developing students' intercultural awareness as well as their intercultural communicative competence. Specific teaching strategies are presented in an attempt to incorporate culture teaching with language teaching through the output of multi-cultural interaction between learners and teachers or among learners. It finally draws a conclusion that it is feasible to promote students' full evolution in communicative abilities through these strategies and some limitations of the study are pointed out.
