ABSTRACT

Since 1990s, we have paid more and more attention to application of cultural teaching inSLA(Second Language Acquisition). InChina, this tendency shows the improvement of teaching environment and methods in English teaching, that is from the past onefold teaching of grammar to the involvement of all aspects of cultural backgrounds. Educators serve as a bridge in cultural transmission; they not only have to measure the proportion of cultural backgrounds in language teaching, but also have to make use of the influence of culture to give students all-round educations. This paper presents an overview of the relation between culture and English teaching, emphasizing the importance of culture inSLA. The ultimate goal of cultural teaching is to truly understand the culture and thinking mode of foreign countries so as to learn the second language better.
