初中英语课堂文化教学现状调查

论文摘要

随着经济的全球化,现代科技的高速发展及各国间越来越密切的交流,世界俨然变成了一个“地球村”。随着北京奥运会及上海世博会的成功举办,中国与外界的交往日益频繁,人们也日渐认识到跨文化交际学习的重要性与必要性。然而,要想培养跨文化交际意识和能力,只靠英语语言知识的学习是远远不够的。即使学生掌握了足够的词汇和语法知识,在跨文化交际中的误解和失败也是不可避免的,而要培养学习者的跨文化意识和交际能力,就必须重视文化教学。本文的研究问题为初中英语课文文化教学是如何进行的,在实施文化教学的过程中还存在着些什么问题。基于国内外有关语言和文化的理论研究成果,本论文首先通过阐述文化教学的目标及内容,提出文化教学及文化意识的培养是形成跨文化交际能力的关键。其次,为了进一步探究初中英语文化教学的现状及所存在的问题,笔者通过选取典型班级进行课堂观察及对部分英语教师和学生进行问卷调查,对初中英语课堂文化教学现状进行了调查研究。调查结果发现,教师在进行词汇教学,阅读教学的时候会穿插文化教学。问题主要体现在四个方面:文化教学的内容太局限于课本;教学设施的不足影响了文化教学;教师在公开课中的文化教学表现与普通课中的表现截然不同;繁重的课业负担是学生学习文化和教师教文化的最大障碍。最后,本文在对目前教学现状进行反思的基础上对文化教学与文化学习提出了建议。
