On the other hand, “culture in communication” is as important as “culture as knowledge” and it shares the same statue as “culture as knowledge” in the new textbooks. According to Zhang Zhanyi’s theory (1990), “culture in communication” refers to the verbal and nonverbal cultural factors that directly interfere with the proper transmission of message when people of different cultural backgrounds are interacting with each other. In that sense, “culture in communication” may include a wide range of information, for example, daily expressions, idioms, formulaic languages, body language that convey cultural information and facilitate communicate, and communicative rules as well as social customs that have great significance to successful communication. New Senior English for China is rich in daily expressions, such as: make appointment, ordering food, express thanks, and so on. And this series of textbooks provide a lot of idioms and formulaic languages which are quite helpful to the development of students’ cultural awareness. In most cases, this kind of information is presented in the part of “Using language” which also provides some practices. However, little information about social customs or communicative rules is mentioned in the textbooks. And the necessary knowledge about communicative rules and social customs are indispensable for students to avoid communicative failures and other potential problems, such as cognitive barriers, culture shock, stereotyping, and ethnocentrism.
