A Discussion Of Involving More Cultural Factors In JEFC Teaching

In the west and our country, the importance of culture teaching has been widely recognized. Researches reveal that cultural factors may affect people's learning of a foreign language.The texts of JEFC have many materials concerning more cultural factors. But in many junior middle schools cultural teaching is ignored.This paper points out that cultural factors should be infiltrating into English teaching in middle schools, that is to say, English teachers should not only focus on the training in language skills, but also cultivate students' cultural abilities.The purpose of this paper is to prove the hypothesis that the JEFC teaching of involving more cultural factors is necessary, possible, and feasible, and it can improve students' learning interest and communicative ability.The writer tries to testify the hypothesis by means of the investigations and the contrast experiment. On the basis of the theoretical description, the analysis of all practices, and the induction of some teaching methods, it is concluded that it is possible and workable to involve more cultural factors in JEFC teaching. Further, JEFC teaching of involving more cultural factors can stimulate students' interest, evoke their enthusiasm in learning, and improve their communicative ability.The limitations of this paper illustrate that there is still large space that can be improved in the future.
