1 preface
The importance of English learning is the application , and they learn the vocabulary of the English university graduates in ten years using language , often apply the \many inappropriate sentences together easily , but the complete English dialogue scene hardly which also created a lot of misunderstanding and jokes , it is so called \English\\consuming and inefficient“ had become synonymous with the English teaching . But how English to teach, how to learn, where to grasp and catch it, but there was no reply. I believe that the key to language learning in secondary initiation stage, the initiation stage of English teaching key is to enable students to establish some thought awareness and this awareness to cross-cultural awareness for the protection. In this case , the paper give a brief overview of culture , language , and the relationship of language and culture firstly , and analyses the problems of English teaching in the cultural import and targets the specific solutions in junior school , which has a certain significance .
2 concepts
2.1 The overview of culture
The concept of culture is very extensive, it is the sum of the social and historical development process with creation and material and spiritual civilization in the country or the nation. Cultural phenomenon which is formed in the specific natural conditions and historical conditions in human life, which has a national nature, specific substances of different nationalities living conditions and social structure is different, so society organizations, psychological characteristics, morality and the concept of mechanism is different. Language is a product of social culture, which contains the human understanding of the world and guidelines for action, is the first
part of human culture.
National nature of the culture, decided to leave the language of a particular cultural background does not exist. Language is the carrier of culture, the main manifestations of the culture. The language is developed with the development of the nation, is an integral part of the social and national cultures. Different ethnic groups have different culture, history and customs, culture and social customs of various ethnic groups are manifested in the language of the nation. Language is inseparable from culture , cultural rely on language , teaching English language teaching , of course , cannot be separated from culture and education . English teaching, it comes to the British country's history, geography, customs, traditions and customs, lifestyle, literature and art, behavioral norms and values , each has a very rich content. Learning a language not only to master the pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and idioms, select this language but also about how to look at things, how to observe the world; want to understand how they will use their own language to reflect their social thinking, habits behavior; understand their \of the soul”, that is to understand the culture of their society. In fact, learn the language and understand the language as reflected culture is inseparable.
2.2 The overview of Language
Language is a communication tool to express ideas and feelings used by humans. Language is mutual recognition of conventional manner and a variety of phonetic symbols and written symbols with the premise of different regions, different nationalities, and different social groups of the society members, together with various combinations of rules and forms, reflecting the use of the language the nation's geographical features, economic development, culture, history and social customs. Therefore, we can say that the language is part of the culture, which reflects the social, cultural, and at the same time by the social and cultural constraints.
2.3 The relationship of language and culture
Language is part of the culture, and cultural heritage, development is based on language, so they have the interdependence on each other, cannot be separated from each other. American linguist Sapir language behind something and the language cannot leave culture exists the sum of the so-called culture is socially inherited habits and beliefs, we can decide it (Edward Sapir) said: life organization (Edward Sapir, language). \between language and culture, have had this discussion:\language and culture, might be able to get along swimmingly to describe 0 / language is a symbol of culture, and culture is the language of the tubular track. Can imagine that if the language from the culture is a bunch of boring text and discourse no joy of life. Similarly, the cultural left language, you cannot pass, inheritance, development, updated. The relationship between language and culture is a great inspiration to our teaching of English. Since the two are interdependent relationship , then in English teaching , rigidly separated the relationship between the two , and nothing but the language , do not speak of culture is wrong , is also detrimental to the development of students' English proficiency .
