The above cultural knowledge reflected in languages should be introduced to senior school students, for many misunderstandings between people of different cultures are caused by the shortage of cultural knowledge. Thus English teachers should make great efforts to cultivate students’ cultural awareness.4.The necessity and significance of improving cultural awareness in senior English teaching
4.1 Cultural knowledge is one of the difficulties in English teaching
In current situation of SEFC teaching, teachers pay much attention to training students’ basic skills. The teacher only focuses on teaching language knowledge and improving students’ exam-oriented skills. To learn a language, we must learn its culture, too. One of the major purposes of English teaching is to cultivate students’ communicative competence, which includes cultural competence, too. In view of this situation, it’s necessary to cultivate cultural awareness in English teaching.
“Cultural background teaching is one of the most difficult tasks in English learning. Cultural background presentation is a way to remove teacher’s culture-oriented deficiency. Cultural background is related to politics, economy, history, geography, custom, thoughts, belief, religion, and human behavior, etc.”[10] Students’ cultural knowledge from everyday learning can’t meet the need of further English learning. They depend on the teachers’ presentation and explanation. The teachers are expected to help them overcome the difficulty. Thus, cultural knowledge should not be ignored in English teaching anymore, or students will fail to communicate successfully with native speakers.
